Win VIP tickets to every single All Points East show
This year's All Points East is probably the strongest line-up the event has put together in its six-year history. With nods to the past, present and future of visionary, envelope-pushing sounds, it's a canon moment for music fans – curated with a deft hand and set in the indie heartland of East London.
All Points East runs over the weekends of 16-18 and 23-25 August at London’s Victoria Park and among the crowning glories of the five-day event are three artists who have shaped the last 40 years of alternative music: LCD Soundsystem (marking their return to the festival after playing at its inaugural event), Pixies, and Death Cab for Cutie – whose frontman Ben Gibbard is something of a spiritual godfather to Best Fit.
Elsewhere, Kaytranda and Tems head up the opening night – joined by Thundercat and Victoria Monét – while Loyle Carner plays one of his biggest shows to date, with rep legends Nas and André 3000 along for the ride.
Every sell-out gig you missed this past year is also safely covered too: Mitski's big day at All Points East sees Ethel Cain returning after her amazing Roundhouse shows while every blog kid’s favourite Jai Paul joins Floating Points, and Jockstrap to play ahead of LCD Soundsystem.
The closing night’s Death Cab/Postal Service double headliner is an indie spectacular: Phoenix! Gossip! The Decemberists! Teenage Fanlcub! Yo La Tengo! Dig into the undercard and there’s even more new-favourite-band joy, with Best Fit tips Wisp, Nia Smith, Towa Bird, Wednesday, Macy and Molly Payton among an actual embarrassment of riches.
There are still some tickets left for the shows and you can pick them up at the All Points East website.
