Since reuniting at The Dome in London this past June, after eight years away, The Maccabees’ comeback tour has included a show-stopping set at Glastonbury. But they’ve especially been looking forward to playing in Victoria Park.

It turns out that after the band’s breakup, individual members would often attend All Points East separately.

“It’s become a bit of a landmark festival for us, always checking who’s on the line-up,” explains guitarist Felix White. “I’d go and have a great time throughout the day, but there was always this pinch of regret watching headliners that we could’ve done it ourselves one day too.

“I thought that moment had passed, and it was something I was prepared to come to terms with, that I was always going to miss. I think we’re all kind of shocked and excited that we get to do it together again.”

Had they just been punters on the day, The Maccabees’ members would no doubt have headed for the Radio X Presents YALA! Records Stage. Founded by White and his longtime friend Morad Khokar, YALA! Records has only grown in taste-making prominence since 2016. Hosted by Radio X presenter John Kennedy, the stage will host London-based experimental act GB, chaotic art-punks Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Oxfordshire-born singer-songwriter Willie J Healey, raving band Folk Bitch Trio, the diverse Westside Cowboy (inspired by a mixture of American folk and British indie music), Brooklyn art-rock duo Sex Week, and New York garage-rock band, Slow Fiction.

Names to seek out on other stages during the day include Chicago’s new wave-inspired Brigitte Call Me Baby, one of Edinburgh’s most exciting artists, Hamish Hawk, eccentric British punks Warmduscher, English post-punks The Futureheads, rapidly rising Irish singer-songwriter CMAT (Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson), Cambridge’s critically acclaimed masters of reinvention Black Country, New Road, Americana-flavoured indie-pop artist Katy J Pearson, and Manchester’s Everything Everything, known for their intricate soundscapes and sharp social commentary.
