All Points East returns to Victoria Park in London this August, kicking off its 2025 edition with the highly anticipated ‘Provenance’ show on Friday, August 15. Curated around headliner Cleo Sol, the event will feature exclusive performances by SAULT and Jamaican reggae artist Chronixx.

Joining the soul singer’s showcase are a number of genre-spanning acts, including gospel legend Kirk Franklin, singer-songwriter Nao, and Mercury Prize-winner Ms. Dynamite. Other names announced include Sasha Keable, Gotts Street Park, Soulection’s Joe Kay, and a special back-to-back DJ set by Jordss and Karen Nyame KG. The North Arena will be curated by No Signal, known for championing Black British culture and music.

All Points East 2025 continues through two weekends, with additional headline shows by Chase & Status (August 16), Barry Can’t Swim (August 22), RAYE (August 23), and a special reunion performance by The Maccabees (August 24).

The festival also features the free “In The Neighbourhood” programme between the weekends, organised in partnership with Tower Hamlets Council. This includes local community events such as live music, sports sessions, and performances for families.

In addition to live entertainment, the festival supports inclusion initiatives with the Tower Project, providing on-site opportunities for young people with learning disabilities and autism, as well as educational activities for nearby arts students.
