Soulful Sounds Incoming: Cleo Sol Announced for All Points East 2025
All Points East 2025 is shaping up to be one for the books, launching with a landmark moment as acclaimed soul singer Cleo Sol steps into her biggest headline slot to date on the festival’s opening night. She leads a stacked lineup that also features heavyweight headliners Chase & Status, Barry Can’t Swim, RAYE, and indie icons The Maccabees across two unmissable weekends of music.
Taking over Victoria Park from 16–18 August and 23–25 August, the beloved multi-weekender returns with genre-spanning talent and unforgettable live energy.
Kicking off All Points East 2025 in unforgettable style, the opening night will spotlight a powerful lineup led by headliner Cleo Sol, marking her first major festival headline performance. Sharing the stage are reggae visionary Chronixx and the elusive, genre-bending collective SAULT, making a rare live appearance — only their second ever following their 2023 debut at Drumsheds.
Then, on Saturday 16th August, prepare for a seismic shift as Chase & Status unleash their high-octane, bass-driven RTRN II DANCE takeover. Known for igniting crowds with their electrifying sets, the duo will be joined by an elite lineup including Overmono, Sammy Virji, and Nia Archives, promising an all-out rave in the heart of Victoria Park.
Producer and DJ Barry Can’t Swim will be topping the bill on Fri 22nd August 2025, marking his only London show of the year, with the likes of Shygirl, Confidence Man, The Blessed Madonna, Orbital, Prospa, Avalon Emerson, Leon Vynehall, Interplanetary Criminal, Marlon Hoffstadt (presents Daddycation) and DJ HEARTSTRING joining him. And completing that weekend is RAYE, who’ll be headlining on Sat 23rd August 2025, with Tyla, Doechii and JADE making it an all-female top of the bill.
The Maccabees who will be taking to the stage on Sun 24th August 2025 for what will be their first show in eight years (they bid farewell to fans with three sold-out nights at Ally Pally in 2017) and the 10-year anniversary of their last album, the number one hit Marks To Prove It. They’ll be joined by Bombay Bicycle Club, Dry Cleaning, The Cribs, Nilüfer Yanya, The Murder Capital, Divorce and Prima Queen. The last day of APE will be entered on getting your “Indie Fix” .
