Pitchfork Paris 2026 lines up Iceage, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul and the next wave

Pitchfork Paris 2026 has revealed its first wave, and the booking already points toward the kind of cross-scene festival identity that makes these events useful beyond the poster. Running from 2 to 8 November across London and Paris editions, the Paris announcement includes Iceage, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, Headache, Ear, Amore and Bassvictim, alongside a DH2 showcase and the Avant-Garde program across Bastille venues. For indie and alternative listeners, this is a strong first signal. Iceage bring jagged guitar drama, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul bring artful club intelligence, and the emerging-artist angle keeps the festival from becoming just another heritage circuit. The best festival lineups tell you where taste is moving, not only who is available. Based on this first wave, Pitchfork Paris seems interested in the messy overlap between post-punk, electronic music, experimental pop and the next generation of artists still building their mythology.
