2 ➜ 8 novembre 2026

7 JOURS · 10 LIEUX

Pour sa 15ᵉ édition, le Pitchfork Music Festival Paris reprend possession de la capitale française du 2 au 8 novembre 2026. Fidèle à son esprit explorateur, Pitchfork Paris invite les curieux à une véritable odyssée musicale urbaine : une semaine de concerts et de nuits effervescentes, réparties dans une dizaine de lieux emblématiques de la ville, du Trabendo à la Mécanique Ondulatoire, de L’Elysée Montmartre au Badaboum, en passant par le Café de la Danse, Main Room, le Supersonic, le Supersonic Records, et le POPUP.

For its 15th edition, the Pitchfork Music Festival Paris is taking over the French capital once again from November 2 to 8, 2026. True to its adventurous spirit, Pitchfork Paris invites music lovers on a genuine urban musical odyssey: a week of concerts and vibrant nights across a dozen of the city’s most iconic venues—from Trabendo to Mécanique Ondulatoire, L’Elysée Montmartre to Badaboum, as well as Café de la Danse, Main Room, Supersonic, Supersonic Records, and POPUP!

Entre salles mythiques et scènes intimistes, Pitchfork Paris compose une cartographie sonore unique, pensée comme une traversée de la ville et de ses nuits.

Le festival commence fort avec les mystérieux Headache, double spectral du producteur Vegyn et du poète Francis Hornsby Clark, dont les rares apparitions sur scène font toujours sensation. Le rock post-punk sera aussi à l’honneur avec un double show du groupe Iceage mené par Elias Rønnenflet pour présenter leur nouvel album sorti en mai 2026.

L’événement de cette année est probablement la venue surprise d’un super-groupe au lineup des plus alléchants :  alors que leur premier album éponyme est sorti le 18 septembre (H.O.T. Records), Dragonflies, le nouveau super-band formé par Dhani Harrison (fils de George Harrison des Beatles) et Nigel Godrich (producteur de Radiohead), s’annonce au Pitchfork Music Festival Paris le mardi 3 novembre à l’Elysée Montmartre. Ils seront accompagnés sur scène par le guitariste de The Strokes, Nick Valensi ainsi que Joey Waronker, batteur sur plusieurs album de Beck, R.E.M ou encore Roger Waters.

Pitchfork Paris fera aussi comme à son habitude la part belle aux nouvelles sonorités pop électronique avec le duo américain dénommé ear, plébicisté par la presse indie internationale, qui occupera le Trabendo, suivi le lendemain par Bassvictim, figure de l’indie sleaze et du mouvement Y2K, pour 2 soirs déjà complets qui resteront dans les mémoires.

Référence de la nouvelle scène pop et de la scène musicale espagnole en pleine expansion, la Madrilène AMORE prendra quand à elle possession du Badaboum avec son compatriote mori, qu’on avait déjà vu aux côtés d’un certain rusowsky, lui aussi passé par Pitchfork Paris

Le label anglais DH2 (George Daniel, Two Dogs, Oscar Farrell..)  investira le Badaboum pour proposer aux festivaliers dès le jeudi soir, une soirée club after Avant-Garde avec la crème de leur catalogue, stay tuned…

Produit par Super! en accord avec le média Pitchfork basé à Chicago, le festival qui se décline aussi à Londres et Mexico, prolonge son empreinte sur la capitale française, accomplissant une mission commune aux trois villes unies : révéler la bande-son du futur et faire battre le cœur des musiques émergentes.

From legendary venues to intimate stages, Pitchfork Music Festival Paris maps out a unique sonic landscape designed as a nocturnal journey through the heart of the city.

The festival kicks off with a bang featuring the elusive Headache—the spectral moniker of producer Vegyn and poet Francis Hornsby Clark—whose rare live appearances never fail to create a stir. Post-punk enthusiasts are also in for a treat with a double-bill performance by Iceage, fronted by Elias Rønnenflet, showcasing their latest album released in May 2026.

This year’s crowning highlight, however, is the surprise appearance of an all-star supergroup boasting an irresistible lineup. Following the September 18 release of their self-titled debut album on H.O.T. Records, Dragonflies—the new collective formed by Dhani Harrison (son of The Beatles’ George Harrison) and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich—is set to grace the stage at L’Élysée Montmartre on Tuesday, November 3. They will be joined live by The Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi alongside veteran drummer Joey Waronker, known for his work with Beck, R.E.M., and Roger Waters.

True to form, Pitchfork Paris continues to champion cutting-edge electronic pop. American duo *ear*, widely praised across the international indie press, will take over Le Trabendo, followed the next evening by indie-sleaze and Y2K figurehead Bassvictim for two sold-out nights destined for the history books.

Representing Spain’s booming music scene, Madrid’s own AMORE will commandeer Le Badaboum alongside fellow countryman mori, who previously turned heads collaborating with rusowsky—another Pitchfork Paris alum. Closing out the programming on Thursday night, British label DH2 (featuring George Daniel, Two Dogs, Oscar Farrell, and more) will host an official Avant-Garde club after-party at Le Badaboum, showcasing the finest talent from their roster. Stay tuned…

Produced by Super! in partnership with the Chicago-based media outlet Pitchfork, the festival—which also holds editions in London and Mexico City—further solidifies its footprint on the French capital. Across all three cities, the mission remains clear: soundtracking the future and driving the heartbeat of emerging music.

Pitchfork Avant-Garde

Un parcours urbain 100% découvertes de 3 jours

Pitchfork Avant-Garde, c’est le festival dans le festival. Véritable coeur battant des découvertes musicales repérées par Pitchfork Paris, plébiscité par un public curieux, le programme Avant-Garde continue de se développer d’année en année, dans l’esprit d’une « block party » qui occupe le quartier de la Bastille en s’étalant désormais sur 3 soirées, dans 7 salles toutes situées à 10 minutes à pieds l’une de l’autre.
Jeudi 5, vendredi 6 et samedi 7 novembre, muni d’un pass unique donnant accès à tous les lieux du parcours, vous pouvez naviguer librement d’une salle à l’autre, avec 21 groupes à découvrir chaque soir, dont la grande majorité viennent se produire sur scène pour la première fois en France, voire en Europe. 

Pitchfork Avant-Garde is the festival within the festival. The true beating heart of new musical discoveries handpicked by Pitchfork Paris and highly acclaimed by a curious audience, the Avant-Garde program continues to grow year after year. Channelling the spirit of a neighborhood block party, it takes over the Bastille district, now expanding across 3 nights and spanning 7 venues, all located within a 10-minute walk of each other.

On Thursday 5, Friday 6, and Saturday 7 November, equipped with a single pass granting access to every venue on the trail, you can hop freely from one stage to another, with 21 bands to discover each night—the vast majority of whom will be performing in France, or even Europe, for the very first time.

Retour vers le futur

Après 9 éditions à la Grande Halle de la Villette, la nouvelle formule multi-salle du Pitchfork Music Festival Paris, inaugurée en 2021, fait désormais ses preuves et se pérennise, devenant un rendez-vous majeur des scènes émergentes internationales.

Depuis plus d’une décennie, Pitchfork Paris a vu passer sur ses scènes des artistes aujourd’hui incontournables — de Lorde à Christine and the Queens, de Bon Iver à Caroline Polachek — prouvant qu’ici, chaque édition écrit un nouveau chapitre de l’avant-garde. Et que l’avenir, décidément, s’écoute au présent.

After nine editions at the Grande Halle de la Villette, the new multi-venue format of the Pitchfork Music Festival Paris — launched in 2021 — has now proven its success and is here to stay, establishing itself as a major event for the international emerging music scene.

For over a decade, Pitchfork Paris has welcomed to its stages artists who have since become essential — from Lorde to Christine and the Queens, from Bon Iver to Caroline Polachek — proving that each edition writes a new chapter in the story of the avant-garde. And that the future, unmistakably, is meant to be heard in the present.
