Stormzy to headline and curate All Points East 2023 show
It's been revealed that Stormzy will headline and curate a show for All Points East 2023 in support of his upcoming third album This Is What I Mean.
Stormzy and All Points East have announced This Is What We Mean Day, an exclusive hometown show, and Stormzy's only UK date in 2023. Stormzy will headline Victoria Park on 18 August 2023, and will also curate the full line-up for the day.
"I was thinking what’s next, cos we’ve done 3 O2s, shut that down," Stormzy says. "I said to the team, we gotta do something bigger, something better, something different. We were having back to back meetings, bouncing ideas. Then it hit me, I started jotting down ideas thinking - live band, need a live band. August 2023, a summer time thing, outside, for the people, always for my people. So August 2023, Victoria Park, more info coming soon….This Is What We Mean Day. Hard."
