Hania Rani’s acoustic piano night at the Southbank
The Pitchfork Music Festival London date is billed as an acoustic solo piano recital of new compositions, with Scottish smallpipes player Brìghde Chaimbeul supporting.
Source checked · current programme and visitor/admission information; no live ticket availability is promised.
Read the format before bringing an expectation
Rani’s recordings cross classical, jazz and electronic influences, but the venue specifies an acoustic solo piano recital for this date.
New compositions are part of the announcement. Do not assume a full electronic band, an album played in sequence or an orchestral concerto simply because those appear elsewhere in her work.

The support is a reason to arrive for the programme
Brìghde Chaimbeul plays Scottish smallpipes, a bellows-blown instrument distinct from the more familiar Highland bagpipes.
Her appearance adds another soundworld to the evening. The venue gives an approximate total duration of two and a half hours, not a separately confirmed start and finish for each artist.
Read your ticket’s arrival instructions rather than guessing when the main set will begin.
A chooser for a mixed-interest group
Choose this if everyone is happy for listening to be the main activity, and if hearing piano and smallpipes is more appealing than a familiar pop set.
If one person mainly wants somewhere to talk, make the meal the shared part of the outing and agree separately about the recital. A good group plan does not require everyone to describe the music in the same way.
A truthful ticket check
The standard starting price displayed at our 20 October check was £33.50, and the official page carried a “Last few tickets” label.
That label is the venue’s statement at that check, not a guarantee from LONNOW that a particular seat remains. Use the current official seller, compare the seat and final basket, and avoid an unverified resale listing that merely repeats the artist’s name.
Build a Sunday evening around one commitment
Keep any afternoon activity flexible enough to leave time for food and finding Royal Festival Hall.
A separate gallery or restaurant reservation should not depend on the approximate running time being exact. Confirm access needs before choosing a seat, use a current journey planner and save the hall name with the ticket.
The concert takes place after the autumn clock change, so the start is GMT.
