New London festival All Points East has an incredible lineup
All Points East, a new festival taking place next summer in London's Victoria Park, has added some amazing new names to its lineup.
Björk, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lorde, Glass Animals, Beck, Father John Misty, Sampha, Phoenix, LCD Soundsystem, Flying Lotus, and lots more have been confirmed for the festival portion of All Points East. As well as the more traditional music fest, there'll be three "huge standalone headline shows", and "free to access" midweek programme (featuring film, spots, education, wellbeing, food, drink, comedy, and more) focused on the local community.
The xx, Lykke Li, and Popcaan have already been confirmed for the festival.
The National will hit the park for the first of three 'APE Presents...' standalone shows - they play 2 June with The War On Drugs, Future Islands, Warpaint, and The Districts (more names TBC).
