Taking over Shoreditch, London’s epicentre of creativity and tech from 2-7 June 2025, SXSW London will be an incredible convergence of industries, disciplines and art forms, all coming together across our East London venues and spaces. Submissions for the first-ever SXSW London will officially open on Monday. 

SXSW is an iconic cultural movement showcasing content from across the world, and this is your chance to be part of it. On 28 October 2024, you'll be able to apply to talk, play or screen at the SXSW London festival debut. 

We’re building an epic lineup, and we want you to join us. Whether you’re a tech innovator, thought leader, artist, performer or industry trailblazer, this is your chance to make history at SXSW London 2025. Programme Vision Along with submissions, SXSW London also announced its programming vision for the week-long festival, which was inspired by the key themes of convergence and unexpected discovery. 

The intersection of Conference, Music, Screen, and Visual Arts & Fashion provides a unique environment for imaginative and innovative content. Detailed programming will be announced in the coming months, surveying the convergence of all art forms at a grassroots level. Conference The worlds of technology, business, society, music, screen and more will be reflected in SXSW London’s wide ranging Conference programming with 23 tracks across four broad categories: Technology, Society, Culture & Creative, and Business. 

The Conference Programme will be comprised of over 400 sessions across four days in a mix of formats ranging from keynotes and presentations to mentor hours, meet-ups and book readings. 

SXSW London invites thought leaders, mavericks and experts to share insights and foster debate - converging tech, innovation and creativity to forge meaningful connections. The Conference Programme will also feature a dynamic Pitch Competition for companies from around the world to compete and showcase their leading tech and business innovations. Music SXSW London’s Music Programme will feature cutting-edge music, culture and creativity from London, Europe and beyond. 

78 individual events across 20 music venues are being planned, offering more than 600 individual performances. The main music hubs will include Shoreditch Town Hall, Village Underground and 93 East as well as many smaller, grassroots venues. The adventurous Music Programme will spotlight international music scenes that transform the culture of their communities through the lens of London and focus on what’s new and what’s next - highlighting iconic moments where music and technology collide with culture coming from diasporic communities and underground movements. 

Screen The Screen Programme will incorporate the best parts of SXSW and infuse it with a brand new, distinctively European and uniquely London flavour. With over 250 sessions featuring 80-90 international premiers, the Screen Programme will feature a heavy European focus pulling in UK premieres from neighbouring countries. 

 The Screen Programme will be imbued with the transgressive, boundary-pushing and creative force that East London has become globally known for. Visual Arts & Fashion The Visual Arts & Fashion Programme will reflect London’s position as a centre of creative excellence, celebrating the convergence of art forms– visual art, performance, fashion, sound, moving image and technology. 

There will be unexpected bespoke and never-before-seen projects from internationally renowned artists and local emerging talents. Katy Arnander, Director of Programming for SXSW London – "SXSW London provides a global platform for creative and innovative voices to showcase their unconventional and alluring talents. Convergence in tech and creativity is often where we see the most exciting discoveries emerge, and we can’t wait to see the submissions we’ll receive for this theme. Today marks an exciting step closer to our inaugural festival in Shoreditch in June 2025.” 

Coming to Shoreditch from 2-7 June 2025, SXSW London will be one of the biggest events on the creative and tech calendar with its own distinctive personality and is set to become the ultimate platform for creative discovery and artistic convergence across Europe. 

Building on the legacy of SXSW in Austin, SXSW London invigorates the festival in a new setting, brought by a team of experts in event management, music programming, and creative direction. The driving force behind SXSW London is the convergence of technology, art and business. The London edition of the festival will feature entirely new areas of programming that are authentic to British and European culture.
