All Points East is one of London’s biggest late-summer music festivals, and the 2026 edition brings a genre-spanning lineup to Victoria Park across two ticketed weekends. Here’s a complete guide to the dates, the venue, and how to plan your journey.
All Points East 2026 Dates and Lineup
The festival runs across five ticketed days: 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30 August 2026. Jorja Smith and Tems share the opening day on 21 August, Lorde headlines 22 August with atmospheric pop built for a late-summer evening, Deftones anchor the Outbreak Fest takeover on 23 August, Tyler, the Creator headlines two consecutive nights on 28 and 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots close the festival on 30 August. A two-day ticket covering both Tyler, the Creator nights is the only multi-day option in the 2026 programme.
About the Venue
All Points East takes place at Victoria Park, one of London’s oldest and most loved public parks, spanning 86 hectares in Tower Hamlets and bordered by Hackney, Bow and Mile End. The park has hosted music events regularly since the 1990s and offers a central, green East London setting for the festival. Between the two ticketed weekends, the free In the Neighbourhood programme runs across several days with open access to parts of the site, including outdoor cinema, live music, street food and family activities.
How the Festival Format Works
Unlike a traditional camping festival, All Points East is structured as five separate day events, each with its own lineup and its own ticket, rather than a single multi-day pass. There’s no on-site camping, so every attendee travels in for their chosen day and heads home or to accommodation afterwards, which makes reliable transport in and out of the park especially important.
Getting to Victoria Park
Victoria Park sits in East London, with the festival site accessible from all of London’s main airports, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City, via a combination of road and rail links into East London. Because the festival draws heavy foot traffic on event days and offers no camping, transport options around the park can be stretched at peak arrival and departure times, particularly after headline sets finish.
Booking Your Airport Transfer
A pre-booked, fixed-price airport transfer removes the guesswork from getting to and from Victoria Park on festival days. DM Airport Transfers offers fixed pricing agreed before you travel, 24/7 availability, real-time flight tracking, meet and greet service, DBS-checked drivers and UK-wide coverage, whichever London airport you’re flying through.
Practical Tips for Festival Days
Check your specific day’s lineup and start times before booking your transfer, since each of the five days runs independently.
Book tickets and transport early for the highest-demand nights, particularly the Tyler, the Creator two-day run.
Plan extra time for your return journey once headline sets finish and crowds begin leaving the park.
If you’re taking advantage of the free In the Neighbourhood days, note that these run on a different, more relaxed schedule to the ticketed festival days.
