Deftones’ headline slot at this summer’s joint All Points East x Outbreak Fest event has expanded, with seven more names added to the Sunday 23 August bill at London’s Victoria Park, including Tooth, Brooki, and Clarion.

Atlanta rapper Kenny Mason, Dublin alt-rock four-piece Brooki, LA trio Clarion, Berwick-upon-Tweed’s Overgrown, new metal supergroup Reclus.É, London emo newcomers Tooth, and UK grunge-leaning group Villanelle all join the lineup.

Deftones are riding a renewed wave of attention following 2025’s tenth album private music and a UK arena tour. The Victoria Park show is part of an All Points East season that also features headliners Jorja Smith and Tems, Lorde, Tyler, the Creator across two nights, and Twenty One Pilots.

Kenny Mason arrives with his third studio album BULLDAWG behind him, a record that merges rap, rock and gospel on his own terms. The Southwest Atlanta artist broke through with the 2019 track “Hit” and has spent years threading genre-bending approaches into a singular style. He’s earned a reputation for treating disparate sounds as natural bedfellows rather than novelty.

Brooki formed in Dublin in 2023 and have quickly drawn comparisons to PJ Harvey and Wunderhorse. Singer Sarah Brookfield, guitarist Dara Gooney, bassist Jake Brennan and drummer Anna Kelly deal in an atmospheric, emotionally direct alt-rock that feels personal and cinematic. Clarion, from Los Angeles, work across alt-rock, post-punk and shoegaze, with a DIY-distortion ethic best captured on their Blue Fairy EP.

Overgrown are a four-piece from the Scottish Borders whose sound lands somewhere between nu-metal and grunge. The band have been building a steady following behind heavy singles “Pieces” and “Breathe”. Reclus.É, meanwhile, arrive with an intriguing backstory: the group pairs former A and The Lucky Nine guitarist and radio host Daniel P. Carter with Tummyache’s Soren Bryce, drawing on Fugazi, The Stone Roses, The Cure, and Bad Brains. The name comes from French anarchist geographer Élisée Reclus, and recent tracks “A Muted TV” and “Roads” grapple with technology, wealth, self-image and social psyche.

Tooth are a London four-piece alternative rock band – Tom Pollock, Ben Ashley, Roy Lowe and Charlie Arnison – who have already opened for Tough Cookie and Man/Woman/Chainsaw and received acclaim for their debut EP. Villanelle complete the new additions with a mission to revive raw, hook-driven rock and roll. Fronted by Gene Gallagher on vocals and guitar, alongside Ben Taylor on guitar and Jack Schiavo on bass, the trio’s debut EP Measly Means leans on grunge touchstones from Nirvana to Dinosaur Jr.

The Outbreak Fest and All Points East collaboration aims to spotlight sounds that resist easy categorisation, bringing together established names and newcomers operating at the edges of heavy, alternative, and experimental music. Tickets for the event are on sale now.
