by | Nov 17, 2025

All Points East has unveiled its next 2026 headliner — global pop icon Lorde — set to take over London’s Victoria Park on Saturday 22 August 2026. The two-time GRAMMY® and BRIT Award winner leads an all-female line-up featuring PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson, 2hollis, Oklou, Audrey Hobert, Rose Gray, Esha Tewari, ML Buch, and Fabiana Palladino, with more names still to be announced.

Lorde’s headline moment comes after a huge couple of years for the New Zealand star. Her 2025 single What Was That marked her first new music in four years, hitting #1 on US Spotify and paving the way for her fourth album Virgin, which debuted at #1 in the UK and #2 in the US. With more than 18 billion global streams and 18 million album sales to date, her 2026 festival appearance promises to be one of the summer’s biggest.

She’ll be joined by some of the most exciting international and UK voices in modern pop. Kent-born PinkPantheress, fresh from her first GRAMMY® nomination and Mercury Prize shortlist, brings her emotive, Y2K-tinged dance-pop. Swedish superstar Zara Larsson arrives off the back of her worldwide Midnight Sun Tour, continuing her run of high-impact pop anthems.

Rising US genre-blender 2hollis brings hyperpop-meets-rage-rap energy, while French electronic innovator Oklou joins following acclaim for her full-length debut. Multifaceted songwriter and performer Audrey Hobert brings her bold creative vision, and East London’s own Rose Gray adds electropop brilliance fresh from her celebrated album Louder, Please.

18-year-old indie-folk newcomer Esha Tewari, Copenhagen composer-producer ML Buch, and London-based multi-hyphenate Fabiana Palladino — who co-wrote tracks on Lorde’s latest album — round out an already standout bill.

Lorde’s announcement follows news of Deftones headlining Outbreak Fest on 23rd August, and Tyler, The Creator’s two-day takeover of Victoria Park on 28th–29th August, signalling another blockbuster season for All Points East.

The festival continues its run as one of London’s biggest cultural highlights. Recent editions have welcomed headliners including Cleo Sol, SAULT, Chronixx, Chase & Status, RAYE, Barry Can’t Swim, and The Maccabees, alongside a reputation for championing new talent and delivering consistently eclectic programming.
