All Points East, presented by American Express, has some incredible lineups coming up for 2025 and one of those incredible headliners is Raye, who just 2 years ago was a support on the exact same grounds. Right on the outskirts of central London, Victoria Park is expected to have the lineup of a lifetime.
The seven-time Brit winner’s line up consists of some incredible artists such as Tyla, FKA twigs, JADE, Jyoty, Nao, Montell Fish, Cat Burns, Eliza Rose, Sienna Spiro, Chloe Qisha, Nia Smith, Absolutely, Amma, Mackenzy Mackay, Asha Banks, 54 Ultra, Alemeda, Zinadelphia, Sofia and the Antoinettes, SISTRA, Aqyil, Pedro Santos, Ava Joe, The Two Lips, Kianja, Harleighblu, Joni Rhodes, Bimini, Lady Shaka, Lagoon, Matty Chiabi and Mya Mehmi.
With a lineup this stacked, it is a wonder who we will be seeing at the festival. We have listed some of our personal recommendations as these are new and old faces to us.
Starting off with our main supports, Tyla is a South African singer whose star-making debut is a unique take on pop-R&B that is laced with the log-drum heart of amapiano. Known for her hits ‘Water’, ‘PUSH 2 START’ and ‘IS IT’, we have her on the top of our must attends for the day.
Next up is FKA twigs, who replaced Doechii’s name on the lineup after her unfortunate cancellation announcement earlier this week. Her mix of high energy, tragedy with sprinkles of mania makes her music stand out amongst the artists of our time. FKA twigs is best known for her songs such as ‘Childishlike Things’, ‘oh my love’ and ‘Two Weeks’ means we are super excited for her incredible upcoming performance at All Points East.
Alongside them both is JADE, who’s career has skyrocketed post Little Mix. Her solo debut single, ‘Angel of My Dreams’, was received incredibly by the masses and ended up winning a BRIT award last year. That, in combination with her stunning live performances make us ensure we see her at the festival.
Absolutely is up next, she is in fact headliner Raye’s younger sister. Despite the pressure of being the younger sibling of the BRIT winning start, she has proven herself time and time again that she deserves a spot on this incredible lineup and it is heart warming to see them both support each other in this way.
Following onwards from our list is Cat Burns, a proud queer singer-songwriter whose openness about her experiences as a neurodivergent, queer and black creative has stolen the hearts of many. She has also just announced her second album and we hope to hear more about that when we see her set later this week.
Next up is Asha Banks, English actress and singer who started her career as a child actress in the West End, is known for her role in the TV adaptation of Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and released her debut EP earlier this year. With all that work under her belt at just 21 years old, we know that she will blow us away with her set.
Also highlighted on the lineup is alternative pop artist, Chloe Qisha. She found success coming from her self titled debut EP ‘Chloe Qisha’ and her most recent EP has found similar success and with a unique sense of nostalgia that comes with her sound, you can see exactly why.
We at Comfort Crowd had already seen The Two Lips earlier this year at BST Hyde Park. Their performance was magical and blew us away so we are very excited to see the ‘still love you (todavía)’ singers at the festival again!
