Brian Wilson, The National, Neon Indian, More: Tomorrow on Pitchfork Radio

Following a great first day featuring appearances from the Smiths’ Andy Rourke, Pusha T, Wild Beasts, the Buzzcocks’ Steve Diggle, Little Simz, Super Furry Animals, and others, Pitchfork Radio is back tomorrow with even more great programming. Kicking off at 11 a.m. BST with a live performance from Anna Meredith, tomorrow’s highlights include a chat with Brian Wilson, who also curated a playlist, a British prog mix from Ian Williams of Battles, an interview and DJ set from rapper Riz MC (aka actor Riz Ahmad, star of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Jason Bourne, and Nightcrawler), and lots more. There’s also a special Grateful Dead mix put together by the National, featuring live Dead recordings from London in 1972 and 1974, plus tracks from their new tribute compilation Day of the Dead. Curators Aaron and Bryce Dessner and Scott Devendorf provide commentary on the tracks.

From 2-5 p.m. BST, we’re hosting a Pitchfork Radio cocktail tea party called Crossfade. It will feature a live performance from NAO, a DJ set from Neon Indian, and an interview and DJ set from Colin Blunstone of the Zombies. You can RSVP to the event here, but space is limited. The Great Northern Hotel’s GNH Bar will be open to the public throughout the broadcasting hours.
