The sold-out and highly anticipated first Saturday of All Points East boasts a star-studded and female-led line-up, headlined by New Zealand’s Lorde. On Saturday, 22 August, those lucky enough to have a ticket can look forward to well-loved tracks from 2025’s Lorde Summer, a guaranteed chance to see TikTok sensation ‘Lush Life’ live from Zara Larsson, and PinkPantheress to keep everyone dancing.
However, this spectacular line-up has plenty of artists who, if you discover them today, could become your most listened to of the summer!
Erin LeCount
Featured on mitb.’s Ones To Watch 2026, Erin LeCount is creating what could be an era-defining sound for DIY music. Releasing her latest EP, ‘PAREIDOLIA’ in February, LeCount promises All Points East effortlessly ethereal melodies and poignant lyricism, preparing the crowd for the catharsis to come.
Listen to: ‘DON’T YOU SEE ME TRYING?’
Rose Gray
With her debut album, ‘Louder, Please’, released just last year, singer-songwriter Rose Gray is a great choice to soundtrack your festival preparation, bringing storytelling with an edge of club hits. Having supported the Sugababes on their 2025 tour, Gray will take the All Points East festival stage by storm!
Listen to: ‘Wet & Wild’
PIXY
Hailing from North-West London, PIXY is building a name in the underground and alternative scene, with viral tracks such as ‘LEGACY’ cementing her as one to watch. Fresh on the scene, PIXY released her debut EP, ‘XY’, just this year. Yet, with standout vocals and rippling beats, PIXY’s set is not one to miss.
Listen to: ‘LEGACY’
Erika de Casier
Fans of Lorde may recognise Erika de Casier from her support set at the Ultrasound Tour. Conversational lyricism cuts across a hazy sonic world with a sound she describes as “reflective, a bit guarded, but emotionally honest”. Four albums, her latest being 2025’s ‘Lifetime’, have set up de Casier to blur genres, bringing a fresh perspective to R&B, which will no doubt be a compelling set at All Points East.
Listen to: ‘Delusional’
Fabiana Palladino
Another artist known to Lorde fans, Fabiana Palladino’s place in the line-up comes as no surprise as a co-writer on ‘Virgin’ and a previous Ultrasound Tour support act. 2024 saw Palladino’s debut and self-titled album, with nostalgic 80s groove that led to her first headline shows, and a summer of festival appearances. Palladino brings an assured sound to raw lyricism, telling stories of loss, love and dreams that are set to create connection across the fields of Victoria Park.
Listen to: 'I Care'
Make sure you check out these artists and the rest of the unmissable line-up before you head to Victoria Park. Tickets for Lorde at All Points East on Saturday, 22 August, are now sold out. You can join the waiting list here.
