The first names for All Points East 2021 have been confirmed with Jamie XX and Kano headlining.
The festival will return to east London’s Victoria Park later this year, although it will take place in August rather than its usual time of May.
Artists will head to Hackney on the weekend of August 27-30 and the first raft of names have been confirmed for the Saturday line-up (August 28).
Jamie XX and Kano will headline on the day, and will be joined by Tom Misch, Slowthai, Little Simz, Arlo Parks and Nubya Garcia. BBC Sound Of… 2021 winner Pa Salieu will also join the bill, alongside The xx’s Romy, HAAi, Marie Davidson & L’Œil Nu, Fred Again.., Q and Seeyousoon.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am GMT on Wednesday (March 10), however fans who have previously attended All Points East will be able to pick up passes in the pre-sale today. Prices begin at £59.95 plus booking fee – you can find more information and buy tickets here.
In a press release, CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents – All Points East’s promoter – Jim King said: “It feels so great to finally be announcing our first day of All Points East 2021. The chance to be back in the summer sun in Victoria Park is itself alone a reason to celebrate. The fact we are coming back with such a great first line up announcement makes this an even sweeter moment.
“There are some exciting changes this year, including our move to the August Bank Holiday weekend. We welcome two sensational co-headliners for the Saturday, Jamie xx and Kano, as well as a host of amazing artists. We can’t wait to welcome back live music in the UK and be back dancing with you all later this summer.”
More names will be confirmed for the festival’s return soon.
