The highly anticipated All Points East x Outbreak Festival 2026 has unveiled its first major announcement, with alt-metal legends Deftones set to headline the event on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at London’s Victoria Park. Known for their genre-blurring sound and powerful live performances, Deftones’ appearance marks a significant moment for fans of contemporary alternative music.
Joining Deftones on the bill are some of the most exciting names in modern music. UK post-punk heroes IDLES return to the London stage for the first time since headlining Alexandra Palace in 2024, bringing their raw energy and politically charged anthems to the festival. Australian punk sensations Amyl and The Sniffers will deliver their high-octane, sweat-soaked rock ‘n’ roll, while viral rap sensation EsDeeKid adds a fresh and dynamic edge to the lineup.
The festival also showcases acts like JPEGMAFIA, whose boundary-pushing blend of rap and noise has earned him critical acclaim, and ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, a rising star in global electronic music. Emotional alt-rock favorites Basement make their Outbreak Fest debut after headlining the Manchester edition earlier in 2026, while shoegaze innovator Wisp and blackgaze pioneers Deafheaven bring hypnotic and immersive soundscapes. Rounding out the lineup is New York punk outfit Show Me The Body, known for their confrontational and cathartic performances.
This collaboration between All Points East and Outbreak Fest underscores a commitment to breaking down rigid genre barriers and celebrating the diversity of modern music. As organizers stated, “With a lineup comprised of bona fide legends within their fields as well as leaders of the new school of experimentation, All Points East presents Outbreak Fest London 2026 provides a true insight into the landscape of amorphous music in all its forms.”
The event follows a successful debut of Outbreak Fest London in 2025, which brought hardcore and alternative acts like Turnstile, Knocked Loose, and Glassjaw to Victoria Park. For 2026, the festival aims to build on this foundation, offering a unique experience that pushes creative boundaries and unites fans of eclectic sounds.
Deftones: A Monumental Headliner
Fresh off the release of their tenth studio album, private music, and a sold-out global arena tour, Deftones are poised to deliver a career-spanning set that highlights their unparalleled versatility. From haunting ballads to crushing riffs, their performance will be a celebration of one of the most influential discographies in alternative music.
