Since it was founded eight years ago, All Points East has become a mainstay among London’s thriving day festival programming. The event has developed a reputation for featuring both established names as well as those on the cusp of stardom, with today’s heavy-hitters Amyl and the Sniffers and Octo Octa appearing on the festival’s inaugural lineup all the way back in 2019.
This year was no exception... and perhaps the most outrageous yet. Following a Dazed Club callout, we sent photographers Klara Ähman and Jimmy Ifeanyi down to two of All Points East’s stellar weekend lineups (August 15-17 and August 22-24) to capture the scenes, the looks, and the ecstatic energy from festival-goers. Soaking in the last of the London sunshine, the city’s diverse tribes were in full-force, with Boy Better Know jackets, tooth gems and summer dashiki dresses all spotted among the crowd.
Across the multi-weekend event, a crowd of 50,000 music enthusiasts enjoyed the unrivalled lineup in Victoria Park. On the first weekend, former Dazed cover star Cleo Sol graced the stage alongside SAULT. The following weekend saw an all-women lineup of icons, including: RAYE – headlining with a major big band glamour moment – Tyla, FKA twigs, JADE, among others. These performances were rounded off with appearances from Jyoty, NAO, Montell Fish, Nia Smith, Sienna Spiro, Chloe Qisha, Cat Burns, Bimini, Eliza Rose, and many more.
