The duo will perform at the festival in Victoria Park on 20 June next year, and the full line-up will be revealed at a later date.

The festival launched this year, with the first run of the festival having had headline performances from artists such as Massive Attack, Jamie xx, Charlie XCX, and London Grammar.

The festival aims to showcase current headliners, focusing strongly on emerging artists as well as having a strong focus on community-driven activities and sustainability.

The festival will return next year and run for 10 days.

When speaking on their headline slot, Maribou State said, “We’ve made some of our best memories touring in London, from our first ever show at Oslo through to playing Alexandra Palace earlier this year.”

“We’re over the moon to announce our biggest show yet in the city next summer, alongside a line-up of some of our favourite artists. This is going to be special. See you all next June.”

Tickets go on sale 24 October at 10am, and will be available here.

Kicking things off at Shoreditch Town Hall will be “The House of R&B”, a stage dedicated to highlighting rising stars in the genre from the UK and across the globe. Brit award-winning singer Mabel will get things underway. Alt-soul songstress Sasha Keable and Grammy-nominated star NAO will also perform. Later in the week, Miraa May and Sienna Spiro will take to the stage, on a bill that promises a wealth of soulful R&B talent.

On Thursday June 5, the Caribbean Music House will take over Strongrooms, an eclectic, independently owned venue in Shoreditch. Here, they will feature a lineup of exciting artists from the Caribbean diaspora, with a showcase from Deadly, featuring Lila Iké in the live room, while the courtyard audience will be given an invigorating set from Seani B’s Bruk Out session, playing Caribbean music such as dancehall, reggae and more.

On Friday, the renowned reggae, dancehall and Afrobeats festival City Splash will storm through Strongrooms, providing an electrifying mix of Caribbean and African-influenced music.

Elsewhere, Canadian singer-songwriter Alice Glass will bring her electronic-fusion sounds to Village Underground. Shoreditch Town Hall will also have some classical sets in store for the crowd, playing host to The Future of Classical Music Series.

Across the SXSW London 2025 festival, several showcases will take place highlighting queer music, with platforms such as Gay Times, Queer Alt Music, Wraith and more presenting LGBTQ+ acts such as Canadian singer and drag performer Queen Priyanka at the Old Blue Last.

As well as a stacked musical lineup, there will be several conferences, screenings and panel discussions involving significant voices from around the globe, featuring speakers like actor/activist Idris Elba, comedian Katherine Ryan, actor and philanthropist Gillian Anderson, Google Deepmind CEO Sir Dennis Anderson and OnlyFans CEO Keily Blair.

Founded in Austin, Texas in 1987, SXSW has held its festival for decades with the aim to “help creative people to achieve their goals”, combining a rich mix of creative and technological industries into a hotbed of entertainment and networking between creative, innovative thinkers. Taking place in London for the first time ever, this summer’s Shoreditch-based festival will be one of the biggest cross-industry events in Europe.

Adam Holness, Head of Music for SXSW London, shared his excitement for the event in a press release: “One of the things I love most about London is that you can step out of any tube station and find yourself in a distinct community. That’s exactly how I want our festival to feel — each of our music venues will be a gateway into a different international new music scene. We’re collaborating with the most exciting pioneers in underground music movements to present the future of music from their unique perspectives, and I’m beyond excited by the artists they’ve chosen to platform.”

Single music festival wristbands starting at £65 will be available from April 14^th, and three-day passes are available now for £595. Both SXSW London tickets and more event info can be found here.

All Points East will be taking place across two weekends in August 2024. Announced today, the supporting acts for the festival’s rock-centric Sunday show will include Portland’s, The Decemberists, and Washington’s Sleater Kinney. Off the back of their eleventh studio album, released this year, Sleater Kinney’s female duo will be bringing their soft rock tunes in support of The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie.

In addition to the rock show on Sunday, the festival has already revealed that the event on August 17th will primarily feature rap music, with British rapper Benjamin Coyle-Larner, better known as Loyle Carner, taking the spotlight as the headliner for the Saturday show. Joining Carner on the same day will be legendary hip-hop artist Nas. A familiar name to all hip-hop heads, Nas is best known for his debut album Illmatic.

1994’s Illmatic has proven to be one of the most influential hip-hop projects of the last 30 years, featuring vocals and production from A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-tip and rap pioneer Pete Rock. Since Illmatic, Nas has been at the forefront of hip-hop’s progression, working with some of the music industry’s biggest names including Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, and Amy Winehouse. The 50-year-old artist has a long list of credits across the media landscape, from multiple films and albums to a feature on the PlayStation 2 classic, Tony Hawk’s Underground, Nas has left a significant imprint on hip-hop culture.

All Points East’s second weekend, beginning August 23rd will see American rock band LCD Soundsystem headline the Friday night. Among those playing on Friday 23rd will be British DJ and producer Floating Points and former outsider artist Jai Paul.

After releasing his demo BTSTU on Myspace in 2007, Jai Paul received considerable attention from the UK music press. In 2019, Paul’s first, and only full album was officially released, despite its unofficial leak occurring six years prior. Jai Paul has had an irregular and sparce musical output, having taken several hiatuses in between his releases. Last year’s Coachella festival saw Paul’s first live performance. His set at All Points East is currently Paul’s only booking for 2024, and with his skittish reputation, it is unclear when the next will be.

Although the double weekend event has only announced a select few acts, more artists will be added to the list in due time. Tickets for August 17th, 23rd, and 25th are currently on sale and can be purchased here.

This year’s Wireless Festival will run on the Friday 7th July until Sunday 9th July with Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and D-Block Europe as the headlining performers. 50 Cent is also set to perform as a special guest.

Ever since his first album drop he has delivered absolute crackers to the scene and has, in the meantime, released a second studio album last year (2022) called Sonder. Reaching successful levels of feedback and a great deal of critical acclaim, the Irishman continues his pop journey to a steady fame. Bringing him to headlining position at his coming festivals.

The festival All Points East is an annual event prepared to, over the course of 10 days, show the public how to put on a show. Based in London’s Victoria Park it allows the audience to indulge in an alternative rock affair with a beautiful combination of other popular music artists.

As Dermot Kennedy joins the club we can officially accept that the lineup has been rounded up. This includes Stormzy, Kehlani, Sampha, Knucks and more on the first day (18th August). The second day (25th August) consists on a different approach to the stage with bands such as The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Girl In Red, Amyl And The Sniffers, Black Midi and many, many more good acts.

The third day (26th August) is where our friend Kennedy steps in who will be playing alongside Olivia Dean, AURORA, SG Lewis, Novo Amor and more to be announced. Finally the final day (28th August) will be showcasing Haim, Girl In Red (again apparently), Tove Lo, Confidence Man, Snail Mail, Tamino, Romy and too many more to continue. It is quite a freely directed festival and the layout of the acts seems to work perfectly amongst each other.

Dermot Kennedy will make his appearance in London as a grand finale to finish off his mammoth tour around the globe. Having already commenced, today (4th April) he will be playing at the International Centre in Bournemouth, he will be making his way through several cities in the UK before crossing the pond to the US all the way through May and June. Once his American tour comes to an end in the Big Apple his trip returns to Ireland, Scotland and finally, the Big Smoke.

Tickets are already available to buy for all his shows, including All Points East.
