Luno Presents: All Points East is back for 2022, with an epic line up of world class headliners, guests and some big exclusives.

Dance music giants Disclosure will bring us all together again, after recently releasing 5 pulsating tracks in 5 days to celebrate the return of club culture. The Lawrence Brothers released their latest album ENERGY in 2020 but broke onto the scene as teenagers, fusing UK house and garage with songwriting skills – collaborating with everyone from Sam Smith to Kelis along the way. Now one of dance music’s biggest live draws, they light up All Points East on Saturday 27 August.
Joining the line-up is fan favourite and pop superstar, Charli XCX. Merging experimental and mainstream pop with ease, Charli XCX has become an unstoppable force in both the UK music scene and worldwide. A hugely talented songwriter and collaborator, she helped create some of the biggest tracks of the 2010s, now the BRIT Award and GRAMMY nominee is an incredible artist in her own right. Her recently released fifth album, Crash, shot straight to Number 1 on the UK Official Album Charts, cementing her status as a pop sensation. In case you missed her headline show at Alexandra Palace last week, catch Charli in Victoria Park on 27 August.
GRAMMY-winner Mura Masa returns to All Points East for another incredible performance. The Guernsey-born producer, songwriter and vocalist is a non-stop success, already having surpassed 2 billion streams. Along the way, he has confirmed his reputation as a chameleonic curator of global sounds; not only in his own solo material but in the emerging talent Mura Masa continues to develop, whether producing for Slowthai and Octavian, or remixing Koffee and Perfume Genius. Recent collaboration ‘bbycakes’ saw him team up with Lil Uzi Vert, PinkPantheress and Shygirl, gaining more than 10 million listens since its release in February this year.
More special guests announced today include veteran jungle/drum’n’bass DJ/producer Shy FX, exciting breakthrough DJ/producer Franky Wah, visionary creative Wesley Joseph, up-and-coming astute songwriter Lola Young, and raw musical masterminds Joy Anonymous.
Gorillaz headline as a UK festival exclusive on Friday 19 August, opening two huge weekends for All Points East. APE Presents: Field Day returns on Saturday 20 August with a jaw dropping double headliner featuring two of electronic music’s biggest ever names, The Chemical Brothers and Kraftwerk. The following weekend sees the highly anticipated Tame Impala (Thursday 25 August), the welcome return of The National (Friday 26 August), essential UK dance duo Disclosure (Saturday 27 August) and one of the greatest live acts performing today, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds (Sunday 28 August).

Once again, the festival is the place to experience the greatest nights of music from the world’s best live acts and discover your new favourite bands.

Q Magazine awarded All Points East 2019 ‘Festival Of The Year’. In May 2019, All Points East won the award for ‘Best Festival’ at the Music Week Awards. The year before, 2018’s debut established this essential new event as one of the best festivals in the UK.

East London’s beautiful Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets also hosts a hugely popular community focused event each year. In The Neighbourhood, in collaboration with Tower Hamlets Council, hosts a vibrant programme of activities and entertainment, working with the local community, businesses, organisations and suppliers. Previous activities have seen something for everyone – eco-friendly creative workshops, free yoga sessions, street food, open air movie nights, themed drag shows and film panels with Richmix. Everything is free and 2022’s programme will be announced soon…
A commitment to sustainability and accessibility goes hand in hand with the community elements and All Points East is proud to have been awarded Gold on Attitude is Everything’s Charter of Best Practice for our commitment to Deaf and disabled music fans.
All Points East continues to work each year with local charity the Tower Project to give volunteer opportunities to young people with learning disabilities and autism on site at the festival, as well as providing education and performance opportunities to the students of nearby ELAM arts and music school. Committing to 100% renewable energy, working towards eliminating single-use plastic from all serve-ware and programming upcycling workshops for children during In The Neighbourhood are further examples of the commitment to the local community and the park.
Local businesses are given opportunities to provide food, drink, merchandise and more so that the local community benefits as much as possible.
