Briefly

SXSW is officially returning to London in 2026
"Back in June London hosted its first ever edition of South by Southwest (SXSW). The Austin, Texas festival took over dozens of Shoreditch venues for a week-long feast of talks, panels, music concerts and film screenings. Time Out was an official media partner, and Tems, Erykah Badu, Idris Elba, Katherine Ryan and Cesc Fàbregas were among the hundreds of big names that made an appearance."
"As in 2025, next year's SXSW will take place in the first full week of June. The 2026 edition will be on June 1-6. Venues Next year's venues haven't yet been confirmed, though SXSW says the event will be held in east London. How to get tickets Tickets launch on October 20 2025, and you'll be able to buy on the SXSW website here."
"Ticket prices Next year's ticket prices haven't yet been confirmed. For an idea of potential prices, in 2025 single day music tickets started from £25, three-day wristbands from £65 and six days for £99. Conference passes cost more, with a full six-day pass for £1,000. Access to everything - a platinum pass - was priced at £1,300. How to take part in SXSW London 2026 Submissions are now open to take part in SXSW London 2026, and you can access a submission portal here."
SXSW London returns for a second edition from June 1 to June 6, 2026, to be held in east London with venues to be confirmed. Conference programming will explore AI, virtual realities and visions of London in 2050 alongside music and film programmes.
