All Points East returns to East London’s Victoria Park on Friday, August 15, kicking off two weekends of performances with headline shows from acts such as Chase & Status and Raye.
All Points East has quickly established itself as one of London’s premier music festivals since launching in 2018, featuring consistently impressive line-ups. Over the years, Victoria Park has hosted headline performances from some of the biggest names in contemporary music, including The Chemical Brothers, Tame Impala, Gorillaz, LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, The xx, Stormzy, and Björk. Its blend of internationally renowned acts, genre-spanning programming, and a free midweek community festival has helped cement its reputation as both a major cultural event and a local celebration, drawing tens of thousands of music fans to East London every summer.
The event will run across five dates in August 2025, with gates opening earlier for primary entry and VIP ticket holders. On Friday August 15, gates open at 14:30, with early access from 14:00. The following day, Saturday August 16, general admission begins at 14:00, while primary entry and VIP ticket holders can arrive from 13:00.
The programme resumes on Friday August 22, when gates open at 15:00, or 14:00 for those with primary entry or VIP passes. Saturday August 23 and Sunday August 24 will open to the public at 14:00, with early access beginning an hour earlier at 13:00. For all five dates, gates will close at 20:30.
Organisers have described the 2025 bill as one of the most diverse in the event’s history. The festival opens on August 15 with ‘Provenance’, featuring the acclaimed soul singer Cleo Sol headlining alongside SAULT. They will be joined by reggae star Chronixx, UK garage and grime pioneer Ms Dynamite, and neo-soul artist Nao.
On August 16, Chase & Status take to the stage. Known for their high-energy drum and bass sets, the duo will be joined by innovative electronic act Overmono, veteran DJ and producer Shy FX, and BRIT Award nominee Nia Archives, bringing a mix of jungle, garage, and bass-driven sounds.
The programme continues on August 22 with Barry Can’t Swim, whose melodic, jazz-infused electronic tracks have won him a fast-growing global following. He will be joined by Australian pop duo Confidence Man, pioneering dance act Orbital, alt-pop artist Shygirl, and internationally renowned DJ The Blessed Madonna.
