Over five nights (4th to 8th November) you are spoilt for choice at Pitchfork Music Festival with a huge and genre-rich variety of artists. The festival incorporates venues large and small, from the capacious Roundhouse in Camden and the Barbican to some of the city’s more intimate venues like Union Chapel and 93 Feet East. The festival represents a true voyage of discovery with plenty of emerging names to get to know – and you can check out their extensive Spotify playlist.
Pitchfork London has recently announced the third and final wave of acts for its fifth festival edition, including Pitchfork London Selects showcase at 93 Feet East & Young Label Takeover 4–8 November 2025. Dalston Takeover includes the intriguing Seattle five-piece Great Grandpa who released their album Patience, Moonbeam in February this year (review here).
Kicking off with specially-curated weekday events mirroring the publication’s mining of distant genre-corners, the week culminates in a Saturday takeover at the Roundhouse and the renowned Dalston Takeover – taking place across five of East London’s most-loved venues.
For ease of selecting your bands and venues over the 5 days, here’s the lowdown:
