ena mori is coming back to London next month.
On May 6, 2025 (Tuesday), Eastern Margins — a label focusing on alternative Asian culture — announced that it is partnering up with SXSW (South by Southwest) for a specially curated show as part of the first-ever SXSW London, happening this June 2 to 7, 2025 (Monday to Saturday).
The team-up show between Eastern Margins and the prestigious music, media, and technology conference’s first London iteration is set to happen on June 2, 2025 at Village Underground. It will serve as SXSW London’s opening night, featuring six of “the most inimitable and exciting ESEA (East, Southeast Asia) artists.”
Among the artists set to perform is the Awit Award-winning Filipino-Japanese experimental pop singer-songwriter ena mori. Joining her in the lineup of the SXSW London and Eastern Margins gig are Japanese instrumental rock band MONO, London-based Chinese-Vietnamese rapper Jianbo, experimental club music-collaborators LVRA and Soda Plains, and Japanese-German hip-hop artist Nina Utashiro.
Access to the show, as well as the rest of SXSW London 2025, can be gained by purchasing the event’s official music festival wristbands, priced at £65 each, here.
