SXSW London has unveiled the first music acts for its 2026 edition, including Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage, rapper Earl Sweatshirt and singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri.
After its inaugural edition last year, the festival returns to London’s Shoreditch neighborhood from June 1-6 and promises to “bring together artists from across the globe, presenting emerging voices and underground scenes alongside established acts,” according to a press release.
Other artists set to perform at SXSW London include Nigerian rapper ODUMODUBLVCK, soft rock band Infinity Song, singer-songwriter Amaria BB, producer and DJ Sega Bodega, London-based punk band Shame, indie-rock group Circa Waves, Grammy-winning producer Fraser T Smith and legendary DJ Pete Tong.
“At a moment when technology can generate endless music, what really shapes the future are the communities and scenes where artists push culture forward in their own contexts,” said SXSW London head of music Adem Holness in a statement. “SXSW London brings those global scenes together in one place. From artists like Sega Bodega reimagining live electronic performance, to bands like Shame building careers on their own terms, and artists like ODUMODUBLVCK bypassing genre and fusing his cultural influences into something entirely his own. The future of music isn’t uniform.”
Music passes for SXSW London are now on sale here, with prices starting at £25 for a one-day wristband.
Elsewhere at the festival, conference speakers include YouTube star Markiplier, Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen, CEO of Hinge Jackie Jantos, Mike Skinner of the Streets, broadcaster Roman Kemp, actor and producer Tye Sheridan and more.
