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."

‘THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN DAY’
This is my only UK show next year. We’re taking over Victoria Park for a special day full of incredible artists and music and vibes.
