Festival dates and location set

The fifteenth edition of the Pitchfork Music Festival Paris will take place from November 2 to 8, 2026, across several venues in Paris. The event is known for its focus on privacy and avant-garde music, offering a different experience compared to other festivals.

Unique festival lineup

The festival will not include artists such as Miki or Sam Sauvage, who were prominent this summer, but instead will feature headliners such as the American group DIIV and the Danish band Iceage. Alongside these headliners, the festival will showcase groups that are largely unknown, with many being Anglo-Saxon and some having not yet released a single.

Unusual acts featured

For example, the English group Compost Compost Compost has only evidence of existence in the form of an online recording of a concert in a London club. This highlights the festival's focus on discovering new and unconventional talent.

Smaller avant-garde festival included

The festival's smaller counterpart, the Pitchfork Avant-Garde, will also take place, offering an alternative to the main event. This event is aimed at those interested in more experimental and unconventional musical performances.

The festival's content will be accessible through the Pitchfork application, with free access available for users. A subscription option is also available at 1.99€ per month for a year, with no commitment required and the ability to cancel anytime. Existing subscribers can log in to access the content.
