Pitchfork Music Festival London today shares the third and final line-up announcement for its fifth edition in the capital, taking place from 4 - 8 November 2025. This includes a Young Label Showcase with Two Shell and Mechatok at HERE at Outernet, as well as the newly added Pitchfork London Selects - a 4 day takeover at 93 Feet East showcasing a diverse range of artists that you’re likely to catch in Pitchfork’s weekly new music playlist.

A mainstay in London’s cultural calendar, Pitchfork London has lit up the city with an array of diverse and original programming over the past four years. Kicking off with specially-curated weekday events mirroring the publication’s mining of distant genre-corners, the week culminates in a Saturday take-over at Roundhouse and the renowned Dalston Takeover - taking place across five of East London’s most-loved venues.

On Tuesday 4th November, Connecticut-based rock band The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die will perform at 93 Feet East, joined by Canadian hardcore four-piece Truck Violence and Swedish grunge collective Clutter.

On Wednesday 5th November, noise-duo Party Dozen join Upchuck and Ratboys at Village Underground. Continuing the weekly series at 93 Feet East, blossoming talent Hannah Jadagu is joined by iridescent recording artist Yves Jarvis and Bells Larsen’s searing folk ballads. HERE at Outernet plays host to a Young label takeover - a music and arts organisation that helps exceptional artists locate and develop their genius. The bill features iconoclastic electronic rhythms from Two Shell, Mechatok, Silver Gore and Isaiah Hull.

Manchester-based Angolan electronic musician Nazar joins Los Thuthanaka at ICA on Thursday 6th November, with Pollyfromthedirt’s raw, rough-edged rhythms opening the evening. 93 Feet East sees the genre-hopping, multi-disciplinary artist Du Blonde headline Pitchfork London Selects, alongside the rising sonic powerhouse Makeshift Art Bar, and Fat Possum signees No Windows.

On Friday 7th November, Pan Amsterdam, the multi-talented artist known for his unique blend of jazz, hip-hop, and spoken word, joins Tunde Adebimpe and Mamalarky at EartH Theatre.

At Roundhouse on Saturday 8th November, London-based producer and vocalist Lauren Duffus and Irish underground artist Elaine Howley complete Laurie Anderson’s Saturday night bill - a full takeover at one of North London’s most iconic venues. With their omnivorous approach to rock, Golomb join the Dalston Takeover bill, alongside the engrossing and charismatic London pair Just For Fun and Manchester-based, interdisciplinary duo Another Country $$$$.
