The Radio Dept. is a Swedish dream pop and shoegaze band from Lund, formed in 1995 by Johan Duncanson and Martin Larsson. Their 2003 debut Lesser Matters earned near-universal critical acclaim, and a wider international audience followed when Sofia Coppola placed three of their songs on the Marie Antoinette soundtrack in 2006. The band operates on their own terms - releases are rare and unhurried - but each one has deepened a loyal global following.
The Radio Dept. were announced for Pitchfork Music Festival London 2026, headlining KOKO on 3 November - their first live show in almost a decade.
The band's KOKO date is part of Pitchfork Music Festival London's sixth edition, running 2-8 November 2026 across multiple venues.
