Skepta, Charli XCX, Mura Masa, and more confirmed for Pitchfork Paris 2019
The first names for this year's Pitchfork Paris festival have been announced, including Skepta, Charli XCX, Mura Masa, and more.
Other names featured in the first wave of acts include Flohio, Chromatics, Belle & Sebastian, Jessica Pratt, Kojey Radical, Ezra Collective, slowthai, Hamza, Nilüfer Yanya, Orville Peck, Weyes Blood, and more.
The autumn festival will see 50 artists perform at Paris' Grande Halle de La Villette.
Adam Krefman, executive director of festivals at Pitchfork says, "This year represents growth and evolution for the festival. With nearly double the artists, and the utilization of new parts of La Grande Halle, we’re looking forward to making space for more rising talent - some of whom European fans might not otherwise get to see perform. It is an honor to continue to call Paris home, and to continue this global collaboration."
