London's Pitchfork Festival Announces First Wave of 2023 Performers
Storming the city’s iconic music venues this Fall.
Chicago’s Pitchfork Music Festival is continuing its development outside US territory with the third edition of its British event. The summer festival brings its laidback attitude to London later this year, welcoming many international acts across the city’s iconic venues.
Announcing its first round of performers, London’s Pitchfork Music Festival will see artist Ryoji Ikeda debut a renowned visual and sound experience at The Barbican. New York psych-pop band Crumb, Helado Negro, and Porches will light up Hackney Church, while a fleet of rising acts will set their mark on UK grounds.
Rock band Sleater-Kinney will hit the stage at Camden Roundhouse alongside Radiohead‘s Johnny Greenwood, who will debut a new project in partnership with Dudu Tassa. Furthermore, British jazz artist Alabaster Deplume will grace the stage at London’s KOKO, while local acts Porridge Radio and Sorry will storm the city’s Hackney neighborhood.
London’s Pitchfork Music Festival will conclude on November 13 with indie artist Weyes Blood, who will host a special closing event at Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith.
