London's 2026 Festival Scene Heats Up
This announcement solidifies an already bustling summer 2026 festival calendar for the capital. Other major events confirmed include Mighty Hoopla with Lily Allen and Scissor Sisters, BST Hyde Park with Lewis Capaldi and Pitbull, Cross the Tracks featuring Little Simz, and LIDO with Maribou State.
All Points East itself will also host Tyler, The Creator as a headliner on 28 and 29 August, with supporting acts across the two days including Baby Keem, Daniel Caesar, and Turnstile.
For the Californian headliners, this festival slot continues their remarkable ascent, which has been bolstered by a surge in popularity on platforms like TikTok and their recent huge headline performance at London's Crystal Palace Park.
