With just weeks to go until All Points East returns to Victoria Park, anticipation is building for one of the festival’s biggest days of the summer, as Lorde headlines East London’s celebrated event on Saturday 22 August.
The two-time GRAMMY and BRIT Award winner tops a stacked lineup that blends indie, alternative pop and cutting-edge R&B, making her headline show one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the 2026 festival season.
Joining Lorde is Djo, the musical project of Stranger Things star Joe Keery, whose meteoric rise as a musician has continued throughout the past year. Djo has established himself as one of alternative music’s most exciting live acts, and fans can expect favourites including Delete Ya, Basic Being Basic, and the viral End of Beginning, all of which have become staples of his rapidly expanding catalogue.
Another standout name on the bill is PinkPantheress, whose infectious blend of UK garage, drum and bass and bedroom pop has earned her a reputation as one of Britain’s most innovative young artists. She’ll be joined by Swedish pop powerhouse Zara Larsson, whose breathtaking catalogue of chart-topping hits, including the ever-present Lush Life, is sure to provide one of the day’s biggest singalongs and throw everyone back to 2016.
Elsewhere, rising singer-songwriter Sienna Spiro continues her remarkable breakthrough, having earned her first UK Top 10 single with Die On This Hill. The 20-year-old has already supported Sam Smith and Teddy Swims, and arrives at Victoria Park following an impressive run of headline shows and major festival appearances.
Fans of atmospheric, genre-defying music will also have plenty to enjoy. Danish artist Erika de Casier brings her smooth blend of nostalgic R&B and electronic production, while visionary producer Erin LeCount offers her ethereal baroque-pop sound, shaped by cinematic arrangements and deeply personal songwriting.
The lineup is completed by an exciting collection of emerging artists, including 2hollis, Oklou, Audrey Hobert, Rose Gray, Esha Tewari, ML Buch and Fabiana Palladino, ensuring there is something to discover throughout the day before Lorde closes proceedings.
Known for creating immersive live experiences, Lorde’s return to London is expected to showcase material from across her acclaimed catalogue, blending fan favourites with tracks from her latest era in what promises to be a captivating headline performance.
As one of the flagship dates in this year’s All Points East programme, Lorde’s headline show stands alongside Deftones, Tyler, The Creator and Twenty One Pilots as one of the festival’s biggest attractions. With an exceptional supporting lineup and Victoria Park set to welcome thousands of fans, all the ingredients are in place for a memorable day in East London.
