The curated event, set for 18 August 2023, has been named after the 29-year-old’s forthcoming album, This Is What I Mean, due out at the end of this month (25 November).
The rapper has been announced as the first headliner for next year’s All Points East festival, in Victoria Park, and he announced on his Instagram that it would be his “only UK show next year”.
“I was thinking what’s next cause we’ve done three O2s, shut that down. I said to the team we gotta do something bigger, something better, something different,” he said.
“Then it hit me. I started jotting down ideas thinking – live band, need a live band. August 2023, a summertime thing outside for the people, always for my people. So, August 2023, Victoria Park, more info coming soon… This Is What We Mean Day. Hard.”
A full line-up of artists for ‘This Is What We Mean Day’ is yet to be announced, but if the stars Stormzy called on for the video on his recent single ‘Mel Made Me Do It’ is anything to go by, we’re sure he can pull more than just a few strings. (An appearance from Mourinho perchance?).
Presale tickets will go on sale at 10am next week, 15 November. You can access presale by ordering Stomzy’s album via his website. General sale tickets for All Points East will go on sale on Thursday 17 November at 10am via the All Points East site.
