Grammy-winning artist Erykah Badu and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Henry Lau are set to headline the first-ever SXSW London, running from June 2–7 across 25 venues in Shoreditch.
Badu, performing under her DJ alias Lo Down Loretta Brown, will deliver a headline set on the House of R’n’B stage. Other standout performers include Mabel, Sasha Keable, NAO, and Miraa May.
Henry Lau will kick off the event with the Opening Performance, supported by MetaMoon, at Village Underground on Monday, June 2, from 3–4 PM.
Adem Holness, Head of Music at SXSW London, shared his excitement: “For me, Badu is one of our most important living artists, so to have her join our inaugural festival is unbelievable. We couldn’t be more excited to have Badu and Lau bookend a week that will establish SXSW London as a vital new destination for musical discovery and cultural exchange.”
Wristbands for the SXSW London Music Festival are now available from £25 on DICE. Tickets for the Opening Performance featuring Henry Lau must be purchased separately, also via DICE.
