ALL POINTS EAST 2025: The Maccabees Reunion Headlines a Genre-Spanning Lineup in Victoria Park
East London is once again set to be the beating heart of the UK festival scene as All Points East returns to Victoria Park this August with a lineup that strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia, cutting-edge artistry, and pure euphoric energy.
Running across the bank holiday weekend, August 22–24, All Points East 2025 brings together a powerful cross-section of the music world, from cult indie heroes and forward-thinking electronic producers to boundary-pushing new voices.
🎸 The Maccabees Reunite
The biggest buzz? The long-awaited reunion of The Maccabees, taking the Sunday headline slot. Having bowed out with grace in 2017, the beloved London band returns to the stage for what promises to be a landmark performance — emotional, electric, and unmissable.
They’ll be joined on Sunday by indie stalwarts Bombay Bicycle Club, rising alt-pop star Nilüfer Yanya, post-punk force Dry Cleaning, cult legends The Cribs, Irish punks The Murder Capital, and fresh favourites like Prima Queen and Divorce.
🔊 Friday & Saturday Deliver the Party
Friday, August 22 sees a genre-defying takeover headlined by Barry Can’t Swim, who’ll bring his unique blend of house, soul, and rave to the Victoria Park main stage. He’s backed by shimmering disco rebels Confidence Man, avant-pop shapeshifter Shygirl, and techno-trance firestarter Marlon Hoffstadt (DJ Daddy Trance) — setting the tone for a euphoric start to the weekend.
Saturday shifts gears for a bold and brilliant performance from RAYE, fresh off her BRIT Award triumph and critical acclaim for her genre-hopping debut album. Expect powerhouse vocals, emotional depth, and dancefloor heat.
💫 More Than a Festival
All Points East continues to set itself apart with its midweek ‘In The Neighbourhood’ programme – a community-driven mini-festival with free entry, local food vendors, wellness sessions, family activities, and art installations, making the event a true celebration of East London culture.
