Quiet Light, the Femcels, and Worldpeace DMT are among the 55 acts playing the Avant-Garde program
Just over a week after Pitchfork Music Festival Paris announced a first wave of acts for 2026, the event has confirmed the Avant-Garde program, adding 55 artists to a three-day bill in Bastille.
This year, the program will take place from November 5 through 7 across seven venues. Quiet Light, Robber Robber, Becky and the Birds, MGNA Crrrta, Ideasforconversations, Cowgirl Clue, Deer Park, the Femcels, Lido Pimienta, Sade Olutola, Jordan Patterson, and Worldpeace DMT are among those on the lineup. The new additions join already-announced headliners Iceage, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, Headache, Ear, Amore, and Bassvictim. The label DH2 will also curate a night of music at Badaboum Club on Thursday, November 5.
On Tuesday, the London edition of Pitchfork Music Festival revealed its first wave of names, which included the Avalanches, Tortoise, Aja Monet, Los Thuthanaka, Olof Dreijer, Ana Roxanne, and Bill Orcutt. Noname will also present a special performance celebrating the 10th anniversary of her album Telefone.
Pitchfork Paris returns this year from November 2 through 8. Tickets are on sale now via Dice.
