A week-long, multi-venue takeover of London conducted by leading music publication Pitchfork, showcasing some of the best talents in UK music and beyond.
Whenever Pitchfork come to town, they bring the ruckus with them. The Pitchfork name alone is enough to attract any music fan to their stages, as their writers, curators, and organisers care deeply about new talent, and know it when they see it.
But even if they were anonymous curators, you'd be lying if you didn't deem this roster impressive. There's way too much to choose from, it's frankly overstimulating. It may just be 2024's most impressive line-up (perhaps outside of the behemothic All Points East).
More like a film festival but for the most serious of music fans, the Pitchfork Music Festival is a multi-venue collection of events organised under one banner. If you're unsure which one to pick, our top recommendation is buying tickets for the Dalston Takeover on the 9th, where you have complete freedom to explore venues and artists, including Black Midi's Geordie Greep, whose recent release The New Sound is all the rage at the minute.
