Taking place in Victorian Park London, All Points East spans over August 22 to August 30. Starting off the highly anticipated shows, Lorde is set to headline on August 22 before Tyler The Creator takes the stage on August 28 and 29 and at long last twenty one pilots have confirmed their headline spot on August 30.

Twenty one pilots were last in the UK May 2025, once August rolls around it will be a sweet reunion that fans have been aching for all year.

The UK return of beloved Ohio boys, twenty one pilots, was cleverly marketed on walls and billboards. Lyrics from the two-piece bands notorious album, Trench were displayed throughout the city of London, leaving fans rabidly speculating online.

In August, vocalist Tyler Joseph shared a devastating post clarifying that the pair would not be touring their latest album, Breach, outside of the US. Joseph said that ‘other than maybe some festivals next year, it will be the first time in our careers we won’t know when we will tour again.’. Reading this for the first time was selfishly a punch to the gut however its now evident this was the understatement of the century.

A replacement for the star hasn’t been announced for either UK festival yet. Ticketholders haven’t been told whether they can get refunds for the festivals following the announcement of the cancellation.

She will also no longer perform at France’s Rock En Seine festival in Paris.

Doechii is due to perform around North America next month and in October as part of her ‘Live From The Swamp Tour‘ and there has been no further word of any cancellations. She is also due to perform a number of festivals in America such as Austin City Limits and One Music Festival in Atlanta.

The American rapper first became known for her track ‘Yucky Blucky Fruitcake’, which went viral following its release in 2020.

She became famous worldwide in 2024 when she released her album ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal‘, which includes songs such as ‘Denial Is A River’ and ‘Catfish’.

Months later, that album won the rapper her first Grammy Award for best rap album, with nominations for best rap performance and best new albums.

She is also known for the viral hit ‘Anxiety’, which was released after a YouTube video of her singing the song, which samples the 2011 hit ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ by Gotye and Kimbra, surfaced.

The positive reaction online encouraged Doechii to release the full version, which saw her reach number three in the UK singles chart.

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 performance on 20 June will be a comeback from their eight year hiatus after splitting at the peak of their career in 2016. The gig will have a capacity of only 300, organised by Hugo and Felix White. With Dork Magazine, Felix had this to say: “This show means a lot to us as MS is a cause close to our hearts. When we knew the band were getting back together, we really wanted to do something again to support the MS Society.”

Hugo added, “Our mum had MS so we know the devastating effect it can have on young people and families. We’ve always done what we can to raise awareness and funds for the MS Society, and we’re delighted to be able to put on this show.”

The band have worked closely with the MS Society for years with the White brothers becoming MS Society Ambassadors in 2016. They announced their return in October 2024 with the news of their upcoming headline performance at All Points East on 24 August.

The Maccabees broke up at their “creative peak” after 14 years of working together and achieving their highest charting 2015 album ‘Marks To Prove It’, which spent 10 weeks at Number one on the UK Official Albums Charts. Upon announcing the reunion, the band spoke with Radio X about how it came to be, stating “it’s been kinda delicately being approached for the last year or so”.

@themaccabeesband Who’s gonna say it first? #themaccabees @Radio X ♬ original sound – The Maccabees

At their first rehearsal after reuniting, they performed their widely loved singles ‘Love You Better’, ‘Lego’ and ‘X-Ray’ for NME, sharing that “It’s felt to me like no time has passed,”. 

 The band have many standout tracks, including the acoustic, floaty romance single ‘Toothpaste Kisses’, which has amassed over 100 million listens on Spotify.

The intimate London gig will have tickets available to buy on a ballot. Entry to the ballot opened yesterday (20 May) with £5 entry and will close on 2 June. They will also be embarking on a UK and Ireland tour in August with support from Sorry. Tickets are available on their website.

Both of these shows will take place just before their slot at All Points East 2025, which features a stacked lineup full of favourites for indie fans, including The Macabees as headliners. It will be The Macabees first live show since disbanding in 2017.

Also on the bill for All Points East 2025 are The Cribs, Dry Cleaning, Nilüfer Yanya, The Murder Capital, Divorce and Prima Queen.

Ticket sales for the new Bombay Bicycle Club tour dates have opened up for sale – you can visit here to purchase.

The band’s latest album was 2023’s ‘My Big Day’. The album provided an eclectic sound, with influences from soul, rock, indie and electronic music all shining through in the production. The record also played host to some notable features, including Chaka Khan, Damon Albarn, Jay Som, Nilüfer Yanya and Holly Humberstone.

The album was well received among critics. In their review, Clash Magazine wrote: “The band’s sixth album – and first in three years – ‘My Big Day’ has a wonderfully organic feel. The songwriting is easy-going, the risks taken effortlessly; more than 15 years into their time together, Bombay Bicycle Club are still taking chances, and still reaping the rewards.”

In an interview with NME, guitarist Jamie MacColl spoke of how the band wanted to innovate and explore new sounds, rather than treading familiar waters within their music.

“I think nostalgia is the enemy of creativity and progress, to be honest. I think with the way streaming works, so much of the music ecosystem now services nostalgia so I think you have to constantly fight against that,” he said.

The band have been around since the mid-2000’s, dropping their debut album ‘I Had The Blues But Shook Them Loose‘ in 2006. Since then, they’ve released several critically acclaimed albums, experimenting with different sounds such as folk, electronica, world music and more.

Bombay Bicycle Club stayed active through 2024, with the indie quartet touring the UK and Europe and performing at Glastonbury 2024. During their sunny set, they were joined onstage by Blur/Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn. They also played their biggest headlining show ever, a hometown performance at London’s Alexandra Palace on July 12.

Later in November, the group gave a zoetrope vinyl reissue of their fourth album, ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’, the band’s first ever No.1 record.

Saul Milton (Chase) and Will Kennard (Status) have collaborated together since the early 2000s, bringing both fresh and compelling perspectives to modern jungle and dnb music. They have produced tracks for some of the biggest names in music, including: Rihanna, Becky Hill, Dizzee Rascal and Example (to name a few). Most recently their track with Stormzy, ‘BACKBONE’, exhibited a seamless crossover between electronic music and grime. It climbed the charts, peaking at number 1 – marking not only the pair’s first number one hit but earnt them two BRIT nominations at this year’s awards, for ‘Song Of The Year With Mastercard’ and ‘Best Dance Act’. This is monumental given the ‘Disconnect’ duo won their first BRIT only last year for ‘Producer of the Year’ following their contributions to their seventh album ‘2 RUFF – Vol. 1’ .

Chase & Status commented on the news of their headline set at All Points East this year, stating: “Bringing RTRN II Dance to Victoria Park this summer is massive for us and to do it with these artists is super exciting for our home town. We’re ready to bring the energy and make it a night to remember with everyone who’s been on this journey with us”.

Prior to the announcement the duo assisted in the curation of event, hand selecting their special guests. Overmono, Sammy Virji and Nia Archives will be performing exclusive sets during the build up to Chase & Status’ headline show. More guests are set to be added to the lineup soon.

Fans noticed a gap in the band’s summer schedule around the Glastonbury dates (June 25-29, 2025), leading to rumours of a potential secret set. Glastonbury is known for its unannounced performances by iconic acts, making this theory plausible. The reunion also celebrates the 20th anniversary of their debut single, ‘X-Ray’.

GRASSMONSTER SAYS: Indie darlings The Maccabees, long thought lost to time, have risen from the ashes for a headlining gig at All Points East this summer.

Fans, still aglow with reunion fever, are speculating wildly about a secret Glastonbury set.

If true, it would be the…

The Maccabees were a prominent indie-rock band from London, formed in 2004. Known for their energetic sound, emotionally charged lyrics, and compelling live performances, the band played a key role in the UK indie scene throughout the 2000s and 2010s. The band released four critically acclaimed albums before disbanding in 2017. Their recent reunion has reignited nostalgia among fans and curiosity about what’s next for the band.

‘X-Ray’ was the debut single by The Maccabees, released in 2005. The track introduced the band’s energetic indie-rock sound and its playful and raw edge set the tone for their early work. Although ‘X-Ray’ did not make a significant impact on the UK Singles Chart, it garnered critical acclaim and underground popularity. It helped the band build momentum, leading to a dedicated fanbase and their subsequent breakthrough. The Maccabees achieved more notable chart success with later singles, particularly after the release of their second and third albums, ‘Wall Of Arms‘ (2009) and ‘Given To The Wild‘ (2012)

The Maccabees are set to headline All Points East in Victoria Park, London, on Sunday, August 24, 2025. This performance marks their first show in eight years and coincides with the 10th anniversary of their final album, ‘Marks To Prove It’. The band has handpicked a stellar lineup of supporting acts for the festival, which includes Bombay Bicycle Club, Dry Cleaning, The Cribs, and more. These acts are known for their unique sounds and connections to the indie-rock scene, adding to the excitement surrounding The Maccabees’ comeback.

Whether the band will take to one of Glastonbury’s famous stages remains unconfirmed, but anticipation is high for a possible surprise return to the festival where they’ve performed memorable sets in the past. The band seems to be the most active on their X account, where you can follow them for more updates.

Tyla is a rising South African pop star who has gained international attention for her fusion of amapiano (South African dance music genre), pop, and R&B music. Her breakthrough came with the 2023 single ‘Water’, which went viral on TikTok and made her the first South African soloist in decades to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at number 4 on the Official Singles chart. This success led to major milestones, including winning the Grammy for Best African Music Performance and supporting Chris Brown on his European tour. In March 2024, she released her self-titled debut album, ‘Tyla +’ Doechii is an innovative rapper and singer celebrated for her versatility and distinct style. Rising to prominence with her 2020 single ‘Yucky Blucky Fruitcake’, she blends hip-hop, pop, alternative, and R&B influences into a unique musical identity. In August 2024, Doechii released album ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’, showcasing her eclectic style with tracks ranging from themes like mental health to empowering anthems. The project solidified her position as a boundary-pushing artist in the rap scene​. ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’, was inspired by her upbringing in Florida. JADE, also known as Jade Thirlwall, is a British singer and songwriter best known for her tenure with the girl group Little Mix, which rose to fame after winning The X Factor in 2011. Following Little Mix’s success and hiatus, JADE launched her solo career with her debut single, ‘Angel of My Dreams’, released in July 2024. Her follow-up single, ‘Fantasy’, took a disco turn, influenced by artists like Donna Summer and Diana Ross. JADE’s described her solo journey as a chance to redefine her sound and build a direct connection with her audience​. Her debut album should be released next year. “I think getting to do my own thing creatively is just everything… People understand who I’m trying to be as an artist and who I am authentically.” JADE said for Harper’s Bazaar Australia.

The singer Raye is currently up for three Grammy awards and fans are awaiting the release of her postponed second album. Tickets for All Points East are nearly sold out but can still be purchased at the All Points East festival’s website, where more support acts are bound to be announced soon.

However the 10 day festival announced some exciting news for fans as they expanded the line up for both the Saturday and Sunday events. The new line-up includes big names old and new including, Suki Waterhouse who has filled our screens big and small over the past year with her role in Daisy Jones and the Six as well as her indie-pop ballads. The singer and actress also welcomed a baby with long term boyfriend Robert Pattinson in March so fans will be thrilled to see her back on the stage. She will be joined by bands such as The Kills, Joy (Anonymous) and Men I Trust.

Alongside them is new kid on the block, Dan Whiltlam who released his debut album Own Mind on May 3rd. Whiltlan is a singer, songwriter, actor and poet who blends palpitating beats reminiscent of rap with the love, loss and sincerity of spoken word. Through his genre bending sound, he hopes to popularise the art and get people talking about the ‘day-to-day issues going on now’ as he told NME earlier this month. Alongside these new additions the festival will host already confirmed sets from artists like the rising Mid-Western indie star, Ethel Cain, who combines nostalgic rock and folk sounds with Southern Gothic themes influenced by the music she was surrounded by throughout her upbringing in her Baptist family in the south. The Tallahasee born singer is genre-bending with her synthesis of hymn-like gospel harmonies, country twangs, classic rock and the more modern euphonies of contemporary bedroom pop. She even incorporates heavy metal sounds into some of her more experimental work which creates a unique disparity from the melancholy, softer sounds found throughout her discography. Cain will perform alongside Mitski, TV Girl and Bebadoobe as well as newly announced acts and others.
