It’s a little hard to think about the prospect of summer right now, between the snow weather warnings, the rainy, gloomy days, and layered up with more hats, scarves, and gloves than you thought possible, the idea of raving in a field may feel a bit distant.

However, that doesn’t mean the Gods - or rather committees - behind some of your favourite UK festivals aren’t pulling out the stops and teasing the lineups set to grace the UK this summer.

All Points East, the London-based music festival over in Victoria Park, is pretty notorious for having a banging lineup, and this year it’s more stacked than ever. The festival runs over two weekends, with the headliners being Lorde, Deftones, Tyler, The Creator and now Jorja Smith / Tems. Other stars include PINKPANTHERESS, Zara Larson, Djo, and Sienna Spiro.

Joining the acts will be Erin LeCount and Erika De Casier – both recently announced, as well as the likes of 2hollis, Oklou, Audrey Hobert, Rose Gray, Esha Tewari, ML Buch and Fabiana Palladino.

Djo is, of course, the stage name for Stranger Things star Joe Keery, who isn’t content with being a single threat and has nailed the double. He’s set to perform tracks from his latest GRAMMY-nominated album The Crux, including Delete Ya and Basic Being Basic, as well as his UK number one End of Beginning, which cinched the coveted spot earlier this year, coincidentally, during the week of the Stranger Things finale.

Tems, meanwhile, has become one of the most influential voices in global R&B and Afrobeats. The Lagos-born singer first made waves with her EP For Broken Ears before releasing her debut album Born In The Wild in 2024.

Smith and Tems on the 21st join a packed set of headliners already announced for the festival, including Lorde on 22 August, Deftones at Outbreak Fest on 23 August, Tyler, The Creator across two headline nights on 28 and 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots on 30 August.

Tickets are currently on sale for the festival, with some of the ticket types already sold out. General Admission and Primary Entry are still available though, starting at £79.95 for 22nd August, with the Amex Presale currently live for the 21st.
