The New Zealander had a busy year in the UK in 2025, performing a surprise set at Glastonbury Festival and performing her Ultrasound World tour, including two nights at London’s The O2 Arena.
Fans should expect a mix of her songs from her latest album ‘Virgin’, which was released in June 2025, and her hit tracks like ‘Ribs’ and ‘Royals’, both from her 2013 debut album ‘Pure Heroine’.
The singer-songwriter, Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, kicked off her professional music career in 2009 when she signed with Universal Music Group (UMG) at the age of 13. Since then, she has released four studio albums and sixteen singles, reaching over 26 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
She’ll be joined by the likes of PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson, 2Hollis, Oklou, and Audrey Hobert, along with Rose Gray, Esha Tewari, ML Bulh, and Fabiana Palladino. All Points East has confirmed that there are more artists to be announced soon.
Each act will give something different to the day. PinkPantheress is likely to bring a fast-rising set built on club beats and soft vocals, with tracks like ‘Boy’s a Liar’ shaping UK pop in recent years. Undoubtedly, Zara Larsson will add her proven festival appeal, drawing on years of chart hits and high-energy live shows. Oklou will round out the bill with left-field electronic pop, offering a contrast through textured production and atmospheric songwriting.
The event itself is a major UK music and entertainment festival in East London that is built on multiple individual headline shows and free activities during the week. It is all organised by AEG Presents, running over multiple weekends in August to create the perfect blend of major concerts with community activities like film, sports and theatre. Launched in 2018, tens of thousands of fans can be seen over the days, with previous headliners including Chase & Status, Raye and Gorillaz.
To complete the 2026 headliners are: Outbreak Fest (23rd August), Tyler, The Creator (28th & 29th August), and Twenty One Pilots (30th August). Tickets can be found via the All Points East website HERE.
