Pitchfork Music Festival London is delighted to announce the second wave of artists for their third edition, taking place across multiple London venues from 7-13 November 2023.

The festival is delighted to welcome MOBO award-winning jazz quintet Ezra Collective for a special opening event at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall on November 7th. The show will feature special guests in support, and is set to be a true celebration of the capital’s nu-jazz explosion in perhaps the city’s most famous venue. Korean rap phenomenon Balming Tiger will take over Village Underground on November 8th in collaboration with Eastern Margins - a night celebrating the very best in new South East Asian talent. A supporting cast of artists of this heritage will be announced soon. Village Underground will also host Sub Pop acts CHAI and ill peach on November 10th and former National Youth Poet Laureate Kara Jackson (plus special guests) leading a new show at Kings Place on November 11th, following a standout performance on Later… With Jools later this week, with further guests in support.

Additionally, an exciting Pitchfork-celebrated talent Rachika Nayar joins Ryoji Ikeda’s bill on Wednesday 8th November at The Barbican. On the Saturday night, new 4AD signing Anjimile and Godcaster are added to the Dalston multi-venue take-over, and club-pop breakout George Riley completes the six act bill at the Roundhouse with Yaeji.

Elsewhere, 6Music favourites SNÕÕPER join Sleater-Kinney, US Girls and M(h)aol at The Roundhouse on the Friday 10th, and finally an extremely exciting supporting cast of Japanese folk sensation Ichiko Aoba and US indie-folk act Vagabon join Weyes Blood on the closing night.
