All Points East has usually taken place in May.
All Points East is the latest UK event to move its dates in order to make a return this year.
The festival at Victoria Park in London will be elbowing in on the August bank holiday weekend which is regularly dominated by Reading/Leeds, although with headliners Jamie xx and Kano lined up along with other confirmed artists such as slowthai, Little Simz and Arlo Parks, it presents a decidedly different feel to that one.
“It feels so great to finally be announcing our first day of All Points East 2021,” Jim King, CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents, says.
“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.”
