This August London will host some of the biggest names on the indie scene to date during their Victoria Park festival All Points East. Headliners for the weekend include Kaytranada who will play on Friday the 16th August, Loyle Carner on Saturday the 17th August, Mitski who will headline on the Sunday the 18th as well as LCD Soundsystem who will perform the following Friday and Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service who you can catch on Sunday the 25th August.
However the 10 day festival announced some exciting news for fans as they expanded the line up for both the Saturday and Sunday events. The new line-up includes big names old and new including, Suki Waterhouse who has filled our screens big and small over the past year with her role in Daisy Jones and the Six as well as her indie-pop ballads. The singer and actress also welcomed a baby with long term boyfriend Robert Pattinson in March so fans will be thrilled to see her back on the stage. She will be joined by bands such as The Kills, Joy (Anonymous) and Men I Trust.

Alongside them is new kid on the block, Dan Whiltlam who released his debut album Own Mind on May 3rd. Whiltlan is a singer, songwriter, actor and poet who blends palpitating beats reminiscent of rap with the love, loss and sincerity of spoken word. Through his genre bending sound, he hopes to popularise the art and get people talking about the ‘day-to-day issues going on now’ as he told NME earlier this month. Alongside these new additions the festival will host already confirmed sets from artists like the rising Mid-Western indie star, Ethel Cain, who combines nostalgic rock and folk sounds with Southern Gothic themes influenced by the music she was surrounded by throughout her upbringing in her Baptist family in the south. The Tallahasee born singer is genre-bending with her synthesis of hymn-like gospel harmonies, country twangs, classic rock and the more modern euphonies of contemporary bedroom pop. She even incorporates heavy metal sounds into some of her more experimental work which creates a unique disparity from the melancholy, softer sounds found throughout her discography. Cain will perform alongside Mitski, TV Girl and Bebadoobe as well as newly announced acts and others. You can see the full line up for Sunday the 18th of August below as well as a comprehensive list of all acts and events across all festival dates by following the link here.
Besides the two weekends filled with musical brilliance, the festival will also be hosting a jam-packed mid-week activities program called ‘In the Neigbourhood’ which will provide an array of street food, arts and crafts, live entertainment and sports all for free.
