Jorja Smith curates her own headline day for All Points East 2026

All Points East has revealed the full lineup for its Friday 21 August date at Victoria Park, headlined by Jorja Smith and Tems.

Curated in collaboration with Jorja Smith and her label FAMM, the day’s final wave of additions includes Maverick Sabre, Katy B, Bricknasty, Crazy Cousinz, Keyrah, Common Saints, Demae, Konyikeh, Mychelle, Olympia Vitalis, Shivani Day, Jael, Tyler Lewis, Kels and XO. SHY FX also brings his label and collective Digital Soundboy to the festival for a day-long stage takeover of drum & bass, jungle and UK sound system heritage, featuring Breakage with MC GQ, Ezra Collective’s Femi Koleoso, Rage, Champion, Enny, Saint Ludo and SHY FX himself.

Tems, fresh off two Grammy wins, will play the penultimate set of the day before Jorja Smith closes. They join previously announced acts Nia Archives, Elmiene & The Sunday Service Choir, Destin Conrad, Westside Gunn, Uncle Waffles, DJ EZ, Wesley Joseph, Sekou, Bellah, Kwn, Ayra Starr and Odeal.

Among the new additions, Maverick Sabre, who first got into production through youth workshops at London’s Roundhouse aged 18, broke through with 2012 debut album Lonely Are the Brave, which peaked at Number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and has since amassed over 1.3 billion Spotify streams. Katy B, whose singles ‘On a Mission’, ‘Crying for No Reason’ and ‘Lights On’ helped define post-millennial British dance pop, saw her 2011 debut album earn a Mercury Prize nomination, before her follow-up, Little Red, reached Number 1. Dublin’s Bricknasty, praised by Rolling Stone UK for a “dizzying array of brilliance,” round out the day’s headline additions.

All Points East 2026 also features Lorde on Saturday 22 August, Deftones at Outbreak Fest on Sunday 23 August, a two-day Tyler, The Creator headline slot on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots on Sunday 30 August.
