SXSW London 2026 has revealed its first names with Earl Sweatshirt, Shame and more

Ten special guests have been confirmed as part of the first lineup announcement for SXSW London 2026. 

Earl Sweatshirt, Shame, Tiwa Savage, ODUMODUBLVCK, Rachel Chinouriri, Sega Bodega, Circa Waves, Infinity Song, Amaria BB and Fraser T Smith all set to appear. Pete Tong will also feature, though his appearance is restricted to Industry Pass holders only.

Speaking about the programme, 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. 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."

The festival is scheduled to run from 1st to 6th June across Shoreditch, with performances spread throughout East London. Wristbands for the music festival are available now, priced from £25 for single-day access or £79 for the entire week.
