Pitchfork Festival London has announced its second wave of artists for the 2026 edition, adding names across multiple venues and nights between November 2 and 8.

The Roundhouse headlining show on November 6 already had The Avalanches topping the bill. Now Panda Bear & Sonic Boom have been added to that night, along with Arushi Jain, who will play a guest DJ set. Panda Bear, the solo project of Animal Collective's Noah Lennox, and Sonic Boom, the stage name of Spacemen 3's Peter Kember, have collaborated before — their joint album Reset arrived in 2022 — and their addition gives the Roundhouse bill a layered, psychedelic cast.

Thaiboy Digital will headline Village Underground on November 7, with Touching Ice supporting Mgna Crrrta and Daine at the same venue. That show has been moved to Village Underground, according to the announcement. (Pitchfork)

The Dalston Takeover, set for Saturday November 7, gets its own headline act: DIIV, the New York shoegaze band led by Zachary Cole Smith. They join a bill that already included Mandy, Indiana, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, and Working Men's Club, with Sarah Meth and Sex Mask also added to the lineup.

Nirosta Steel will perform My Skyscraper at the ICA on Saturday November 7. The same venue hosts a November 5 bill that now includes Robert Lester Folsom, Star Moles, and Sean Solomon. Over at MOTH, the November 4 Pitchfork London Selects bill adds Rockie Rode, the Healing Power of Horses, and Any Young Mechanic.

Charlie Osborne and Ship Sket will support Ear at the Cause on November 5.

The first wave, announced in June, named Los Thuthanaka, The Avalanches, and Noname as headliners, with acts including Tortoise, Aja Monet, Olof Dreijer, Hania Rani, Radio Dept, Actress, and Jacob Alon also confirmed across the week. (Pitchfork, 8 June 2026; WhyNow, 9 June 2026)

For fans, this second wave deepens a lineup that already spanned folk, electronic, hip-hop, and experimental rock — and it puts several of the new additions on shared bills that pair them with complementary acts. Panda Bear & Sonic Boom opening for The Avalanches at the Roundhouse is the kind of three-act night that festival programming is built for.

Pitchfork Festival London 2026 runs November 2–8 at venues across the city.
