Twenty One Pilots will take the stage at Victoria Park in London on August 30. It is set to be the band’s only UK show of the year. Previously announced acts for the day include Wunderhorse, Nova Twins, REN, BBNO$, PVRIS, Dead Pony, Kid Kapachi and LEAP.

Today (25 March) celebrated Australian rock band, Gang of Youths has joined the lineup. Their 2017 track ‘Achilles Come Down’ achieved virality in 2020 and still remains a popular track on TikTok with over 45 thousand posts under the official sound on the platform. Also on the bill are American rock band, half alive. This will be their second time supporting Twenty One Pilots after accompanying them on their 2021 Takeover Tour. NOAHFINNCE, British singer and YouTuber, is one of the exciting emerging acts set to support, he released his first original single, ‘Asthma Attack’ in 2018 on YouTube and was signed to Hopeless Records in 2019. British punk rockers Kid Kapichi, British Rock duo Nova Twins, Jessie Murph and Artio are just a few more on the long list of names added.

Keeping with All Points East’s theme of immersing their promotion within their headliner’s fanbase, the line up additions were teased last night (24 March). Fan received an email from the festival with a cryptic letter, written in the style of one from the world of the band’s expansive and long-running narrative, Trench. Highlighted words like “Jessie,” “Noah,” “half” and “alive” as well as “let me down easy” (Gang of Youths’ 2x Platinum single) gave the fans a taste of who would be joining the band on August 30.

In addition to a stacked line up, Twenty One Pilots is bringing along their exclusive Fan Premier Exhibit to Victoria Park. This add-on will allow fans to walk through showings of memorabilia from the band’s career, new items from their most recent album, ‘Breach’, interactive photo ops and more. Additionally, the immersive Bandtiø Camp will be set up on the festival grounds, an installation described as somewhere fans can “take photos, explore the camp’s artefacts and connect with fellow Banditos.”

Most recently, the duo officially released their single, ‘Drag Path’ which gained massive, unexpected popularity five months after its limited release in September 2025. After going viral on TikTok, the official release of the song peaked at Number 23 on the Official Singles chart. This is the duo’s highest position on this chart since their 2016 single ‘Heathens.’

Twenty One Pilots will close out the All Points East 2026 festivities on the last weekend of August. Ahead of them Victoria Park will see sets from Jorja Smith and Tems on Friday 21 August, Lorde on Saturday 22 August, Deftones at Outbreakfest on Sunday 23 August, and Tyler, The Creator will headline two nights on 28 and 29 August.

Smith and Tems are the last hotly anticipated All Points East headliners to be announced.  First teased on Sunday with a pink, star-studded version of the All Points East logo posted to both X and Instagram, fans were sent speculating in the comments. After another teaser was shared on Monday, a few keen eyed fans guessed correctly. The official poster was shared on this morning, Tuesday 10 March.

The line up has being curated by Smith with help from her label, FAMM. Smith recently released her single, ‘Don’t Leave,’ originally recorded in 2015. This release came as celebration of ten years since her debut single, ‘Blue Lights.’ Her most recent album, ‘Falling or Flying’ released in 2023, with NME calling it “the album she was always destined to make,” in their four-star review. After August’s All Points East, Smith will support Harry Styles for six nights in Mexico City on his Together, Together tour.

Tems released her debut album, ‘Born in the Wild’ in June 2024, just after she became the first African singer awarded the Billboard Women in Music Award. She earned three nominations at the 67^th Grammy Awards for Best Global Music Album (‘Born in the Wild’), Best R&B Song (‘Burning’) and won Best African Music Performance for ‘Love Me Jeje.’ In November 2025, she surprised released an EP titled, ‘Love is a Kingdom.’

Elsewhere on the bill is British rapper, Kwn, who was featured in NME’s 2025 list of “essential emerging artists.”  Arya Starr also joins the lineup with nearly 3 billion streams globally. She was among the first Afrobeats musicians to play Glastonbury’s iconic Pyramid Stage in 2024. And BET Award Winning R&B singer, Odeal rounds out the already impressive list of supporting acts.

The organisers of the festival said, “All Points East is honoured to welcome global superstar Lorde as a headliner for next summer. A Grammy-winning artist and cultural force, Lorde is known for her genre-defying sound, introspective lyricism and striking creative vision. Since her breakthrough with ‘Pure Heroine’ in 2013, she has redefined the contours of modern pop-merging poetic storytelling with minimalist, emotionally resonant production.”

Earlier this year, All Points East was headlined by artists such as The Maccabees, Raye, Cleo Sol, SAULT, Chronixx, Chase & Status, and Barry Can’t Swim.

Lorde first broke into the UK scene with her single ‘Royals’, which topped the UK singles charts. Her debut album ‘Pure Heroine’ became a UK favourite, followed by ‘Melodrama’, which received widespread positivity and gained her a devoted UK fan base. Her 2025 album ‘Virgin‘ became her first ever UK number one album. She has also won two BRIT Awards in her career, both for International Female Solo Artist.

Lorde’s UK shows and tours have been huge moments in her career so far, including sold-out shows in London, Manchester, Glasgow, and festivals, which have allowed her to showcase her emotional storytelling on a stage. Her album ‘Solar Power’ further showcased her storytelling and allowed her to bring her intimate, simplistic production to UK venues.

Lorde performed a rare early UK show in her career in June 2014 at London’s Brixton Academy, which showcased her raw vulnerability and theatre style staging. She performed most of ‘Pure Heroine’ with dramatic visuals and emotional intensity, and at just 17 years old, she proved she could perform in a major London venue.

The UK and European leg of Lorde’s ‘Ultrasound’ tour has just kicked off, which features two concerts at London’s O2 Arena, and last night saw her bring out Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink on stage during ‘Green Light’. Lorde also brought out Charli XCX to do a joint rendition of ‘Girl, So Confusing’ during her show in Los Angeles last month.

Lorde has also been announced to perform at NOS Alive 2026, and has sparked rumours over a potential surprise set at next year’s Primavera Sound.

Tickets for the All Points East show next year go on general sale November 20 at 9am, and tickets can be bought here.
