The award-winning festival All Points East has announced its Saturday lineup, with guitarist Tom Misch and saxophonist Nubya Garcia featuring prominently as part of the bill. The pair sit alongside producer Jamie XX, Little Simz, Arlo Parks and Slowthai.
The East London festival, which takes place in Victoria Park, has been shifted three months from its traditional spot in May to the August bank holiday - 27-30 August 2021. The festival announcement shows growing optimism for the British musicians for the summer ahead.
Jim King, CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents, says, “It feels so great to finally be announcing our first day of All Points East 2021. The chance to be back in the summer sun in Victoria Park is itself alone a reason to celebrate. The fact we are coming back with such a great first line up announcement makes this an even sweeter moment...We can’t wait to welcome back live music in the UK and be back dancing with you all later this summer.”
