South by Southwest has revealed the first musical acts set to perform at SXSW London 2026, including Tiwa Savage, Earl Sweatshirt, and Rachel Chinouriri.
Taking place June 1-6, the SXSW London Music Festival will once again bring together artists from across the globe, presenting “emerging voices and underground scenes alongside established acts” including Nigerian rapper ODUMODUBLVCK and indie rock band Circa Waves.
Spanning venues, clubs, and cultural spaces across Shoreditch, the program aims to “reflect the diversity of sound and community that defines the U.K. music landscape, while connecting it to global talent and audiences.”
Following the success of its inaugural year, SXSW London returns for 2026. Adem Holness, head of music at SXSW London, said: “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.
“SXSW London brings those global scenes together in one place,” he continued. “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.”
Other artists booked to perform at SXSW London include soft rock’s Infinity Song, DJ Pete Tong, and Jamaican Guyanese singer-songwriter Amaria BB.
