The day-to-day line-ups for the 6 Music stage have been curated specially by several 6 Music presenters, namely Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft, Afrodeutsche and Jamz Supernova. Each presenter will also be performing a live set of their own on the days where they have curated the line-ups.

Commenting on the newly announced line-up, European Festivals at AEG Presents CEO Jim King said: “After our hugely successful first year of welcoming BBC Radio 6 Music as All Points East’s broadcast partner in 2021, it’s brilliant to have them back hosting the 6 Music stage… “We’re delighted to welcome back the incomparable Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft and Mary Anne Hobbs curating the line ups with even more exciting names this summer.”

Mary Anne Hobbs and Jamz Supernova also offered insight into their feelings about the forthcoming APE festival when speaking with NME. Hobbs said: “We broke new ground with the pioneering All Queens stage at APE in 2021…It was the first time we’d been back on a festival stage for two years and it was emotional. It’s a joy to return with my ’22 line-up, loaded with incendiary young artists, with roots in many different cultures.”

Jamz Supernova spoke of his anticipation for this year’s iteration of the festival: “Really excited to be playing APE again, last year was a real highlight for me. Nothing better than being in your hometown. The stage, the sound and the ravers made it magical. This year, I’m really excited to be curating my own line-up on the 6 Music stage, watching the DJs smash it and celebrating the end of the day by watching James Blake.”

Other than the 6 Music Stage, All Points East is boasting an extremely exciting line-up for this year, with appearances from the likes of Tame Impala, The National, Charli XCX, Gorillaz, The Chemical Brothers, Japanese Breakfast, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and German synth-pop innovators Kraftwerk. As of the 25^th of May, Radiohead side-project The Smile were announced as special guests at Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ headlining performance.
