Many more top names are still to be announced, tickets are on sale now via www.allpointseast.com.
RAYE is one of the brightest stars in music today, boasting eight Top 20 UK singles, 5 Billion global Spotify streams, and a track record of writing for the industry’s biggest names. Following the release of long-awaited independent debut album My 21st Century Blues she has been a feature of the awards list, picking up an unprecedented six BRITs, ‘Songwriter of the Year’ at the Ivor Novello Awards 2024 and three nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards. This year saw RAYE put in highly lauded performances at Coachella and Glastonbury, attend her first MET Gala wearing custom Fendi, and be named on TIME Magazine’s ‘Next Generation Leaders’ list. The mega-hit ‘Escapism.’ was the song of 2023, the year she first appeared at All Points East, sharing a bill with the likes of Erykah Badu and Jungle. In 2025 she returns to headline – with a carefully curated list of very special guests.
Tyla, fresh from a triple success at the MTV Europe Music Awards this month, is one of the hottest stars on the planet right now. The recently released debut album includes hit singles ‘Push 2 Start’ and the Grammy-winning international hit ‘Water’. At the EMAs she picked up ‘Best African Act’, ‘Best Afrobeats’ and ‘Best R&B’ and gave a showstopping televised performance. In the US, 2024 has seen Tyla achieve a record-setting run on the Billboard charts, when she became the highest-charting African female soloist on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 with ‘Water’ and TYLA respectively. She also performed at this year’s LVMH Prelude to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and continued to dominate the awards circuit, including victories at the MTV VMAs and BET Awards and South African Music Awards.
For Doechii, the year has seen the release of the mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal – described by the Financial Times as “irreverent, raunchy and hilarious” and packed with quickfire wordplay from a lyrical master. Grammy nominations followed for ‘Best New Artist’, ‘Best Rap Album’, ‘Best Rap Performance’ for the single ‘Nissan Altima’ and ‘Best Remixed Recording’ for Kaytranada’s take on the Eurodance-inspired hit ‘Alter Ego’. The song was described by R&B superstar SZA as “the craziest song I’ve heard all year”, while Kendrick Lamar called Doechii the “hardest [rapper] out”. In 2023, the single ‘What It Is (Block Boy)’ gained 600 million plus global streams, while live performances included a Beyoncé support slot.
Earlier this year, JADE soared to success with the bold Top 10 hit single ‘Angel of My Dreams’ as she launched her solo career, following more than a decade as a member of Little Mix, one of the UK’s biggest girl groups. “What I’m going for is a relentless, huge pop punch to the face,” she said. “I want people to be like ‘oh my god, I didn’t expect that’ – but then want to listen to it again.” And it worked. CLASH magazine said the song was a “bold, bravura statement of frenetic creativity”. Second single ‘Fantasy’ has a stunning video directed by David LaChapelle and a mix featuring Channel Tres. With Little Mix, JADE has sold more than 50 million records worldwide and achieved more than 12 billion streams of songs including ‘Shout Out To My Ex’, ‘Black Magic’ and ‘Touch’.
Announcing her All Points East headline show, RAYE said: “London…we are headlining All Points East festival on Saturday 23 August 2025. We are going to be bringing you a beautiful show full of passion and incredible musicians to Victoria Park. I’m going to work hard to make it the most beautiful show we are capable of.

About All Points East:
All Points East has become the essential London event since its inception six years ago. The quality of artists runs very deep across the days with established names and those on the cusp of stardom entertaining crowds. 2023 welcomed stunning headline sets from a series of world class artists across two weekends of shows, including Stormzy, The Strokes, Jungle, Dermot Kennedy and HAIM plus a host of midweek activities including the FIFA Women’s World Cup Final.
2019 saw a flurry of awards for the new festival; Q Magazine awarded All Points East ‘Festival Of The Year’, and that same year All Points East won the award for ‘Best Festival’ at the Music Week Awards. The year before, 2018’s debut established this essential new event as one of the best festivals in the UK. Winning ‘Festival Of The Year’ at the Music Week Awards and ‘Line-Up of the Year’ at the UK Festival Awards, All Points East 2018 boasted headline sets from LCD Soundsystem, The xx, Björk, Catfish & The Bottlemen, The National and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
East London’s beautiful Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets also hosts a hugely popular community focused event each year. In The Neighbourhood, in collaboration with Tower Hamlets Council, hosts a vibrant programme of activities and entertainment, working with the local community, businesses, organisations and suppliers. Previous activities have seen something for everyone – eco-friendly creative workshops, free yoga sessions, street food, open air movie nights, themed drag shows and film panels with Richmix. Everything is free and 2024’s programme will be announced in the new year.
A commitment to sustainability and accessibility goes hand in hand with the community elements and All Points East is proud to have been awarded Gold on Attitude is Everything’s Charter of Best Practice for our commitment to Deaf and disabled music fans.
All Points East continues to work each year with local charity the Tower Project to give volunteer opportunities to young people with learning disabilities and autism on site at the festival, as well as providing education and performance opportunities to the students of nearby ELAM arts and music school. Committing to 100% renewable energy, working towards eliminating single-use plastic from all serve-ware and programming upcycling workshops for children during In The Neighbourhood are further examples of the commitment to the local community and the park.
Local businesses are given opportunities to provide food, drink, merchandise and more so that the local community benefits as much as possible.
