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.

Smith and Tems’ Friday bill joins an already stacked run for All Points East 2026. For the last two weekends in August, London’s Victoria Park will see sets from several global superstars. Lorde will headline Saturday 22 August with support from the likes of PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson. Deftones will head up on the 23^rd with IDLES, Amyl, Sniffers and more. Tyler, the Creator will take both the 28^th and the 29^th, supported by Turnstile, Dijon, Jim Legxacy and Fakemink to name a few. And finally Twenty One Pilots will close out the festival, taking over Victoria Park on August 30^th with Wunderhorse, Pvris and others.
