2026 Music Festival
The return of SXSW London Music Festival will bring even more to Shoreditch. More Music. More Artists. More Sounds.
What happened in 2025?
The music at SXSW London 2025 delivered a truly unique experience. Across venues like Shoreditch Town Hall, 93 Feet East, Juju’s and Hoxton Hall, we welcomed a powerful lineup of artists pushing sound forward — from headliners like TEMS, Mabel, Sasha Keable, NAO and Alice Glass, to UK legends like Bashy and bold new voices curated by BBC Introducing, TRENCH, The BRIT School and Becca D’s Deadly.
We partnered with Abbey Road Studios to create Studio 4 — their first-ever studio outside NW8 — built for live sessions and spontaneous magic in the heart of Hoxton Square and Rolling Stone took over the festival’s sonic storytelling with exclusive artist moments.
