Nick Cave is headlining All Points East on August 28th.

The Smile have been added to the All Points East line-up which will be topped by Nick Cave this summer.

The new venture from Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood join Michael Kiwanuka, Sleaford Mods, Aldous Harding, Anna Calvi, Japanese Breakfast, Tinariwen, Jehnny Beth and Joan As Police Woman on the packed bill after the recent release of the debut album A Light For Attracting Attention.

“Unsurprisingly it sounds a lot like Radiohead, although anything that features Yorke’s distinctive voice does so by default,” our review reads. “With that shocking revelation out of the way, does A Light For Attracting Attention stand on its own two feet?”

“Not really. That’s not to say it’s sub-par (in parts it’s sublime) but so large is the shadow cast by the parent band, Yorke and co wisely decide to embrace the fact and, let’s face it, even Radiohead-lite is better than most.”
