‘East is up’ is the short yet powerful line that shook all UK based Clikkies in late 2025 as the duo with one of the loudest fanbases, Twenty One Pilots, were announced to be headlining All Points East as a part of their already stacked lineup of headliners.
And for their UK exclusive headline show, they have gone all out, having brought both Bandito Camp AND Fan Premier Exhibit over from across the pond with them, and plans for fan POV of the full experience alongside the full recording of the festival experience, it is set to be an unforgettable day for any and all in attendance.
The Grammy winning duo’s lineup includes : Wunderhorse, Ren, Gang of Youths, BBNO$, PVRIS, Jessie Murph, half•alive, Hot Milk, Nova Twins, Kid Kapichi, NOAHFINNCE, Honey Revenge, Dead Pony, Mouth Culture, Leap, Ray Bull, Red Leather, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Witch Pose, Artio, Emi Grace, Headsend, Recce Young and The Meffs.
With a lineup this stacked, it is a wonder who we will be seeing at the festival. We have listed some of our personal recommendations as these are new and old faces to us.
Headlining West Stage are British rock band Wunderhorse, who rose to prominence with their debut album ‘Cub’ and after gaining the recognition from artists like Sam Fender and Fontaines D.C. plus the release of their second album ‘Midas’, which landed in the UK top 10 on the week of its release, their fanbase grew exponentially. We expect many moshpits over on the West Stage during their set, which is definitely a great warmup for Twenty One Pilots later.
BBNO$ is a familiar name to anyone who has been on TikTok over the past couple years. Having gone viral on multiple occasions in that time for his catchy tunes, unique marketing tactics and undeniably loud support for artists and creatives, we are interested in what he will bring to All Points East as he headlines North Arena.
A personal favourite duo of ours on this lineup is half•alive, having already supported twenty one pilots previously on Takeover Tour in the Scaly and Icy era, they were a no brainer to have on this lineup. Their creativity and visuals are unmatched and that continues to be the case with their new single, ‘The Wolf’ has been very well received by their audience and we know they will warm The Clique up perfectly.
Nova Twins are best friends turned musical duo who rocked the UK music scene with their catchy yet angry sounding tracks. Fans talk about how talented they duo and amongst them is Bring Me The Horizon who featured them on one of their tracks ‘1×1’, and with such high approval, they are definitely work catching on the day.
NOAHFINNACE, Royal & The Serpent and Artio, are names people may recognise if they listened to Rock Sound’s tribute album for BlurryFace, ‘Blurryface Reborn’, as some of the cover artists for the album. We were so stoked to see them featured on the lineup and hope to catch them all during our time at All Points East.
The other All Points East’s 2026 headliners include Lorde, Tyler the Creator, Deftones, Jorja Smith + Tems, which are recognisable names to anyone. The festival’s previous acts include names like Raye, The Maccabees, Mitski, Björk, LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, The Chemical Brothers, Gorillaz, Kraftwerk, Tame Impala and Bring Me The Horizon.
All Points East has been a long standing festival attracting hundreds and thousands of people every year. It plays a vital role in the London festival scene and funds the local community through its events.
