LCD Soundsystem, Bjork, and Lorde are amongst several other huge names that have been added to London’s upcoming All Points East Festival.
Last week, The xx and The National were confirmed as the first headliners of the 10 day festival, which will take place in the capital’s famous Victoria park, and will run from May 25- June 3. Lykke Li, Popcaan, The War On Drugs, Future Islands, Warpaint, and more were also announced in support of these two headliners.
Beck, Father John Misty, Phoenix, Flying Lotus, Glass Animals, Sampha, Richie Hawtin, Rex Orange County, Sylvan Esso, Dixon, Alexis Taylor and George Fitzgerald will also be playing over the course of the festival.
After the release of their long-awaited comeback album American Dream, and a subsequent string of hugely popular live shows, LCD Soundsystem will be kicking the festival off on Friday, May 25. Accompanying them will be a returning set from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who made their first live appearance for four years over the summer, at Austin, TX’s Sound on Sound Festival.
Bjork will close the first weekend of the festival, in support of her new album Utopia, her first LP since 2015, which will be available everywhere on November 24.
The Icelandic songstress recently came forward to show solidarity to the recent victims of sexual assault and harassment in Hollywood. Taking to Facebook, Bjork described her own experiences at the hands of an unnamed director. However, many suspect the director in question to be Lars Von Trier, the controversial Danish auteur who worked with Bjork on 2000’s Dancer in the Dark. Von Trier vehemently denies these accusations.
