All Points East has announced a second wave of support acts for its Jorja Smith and Tems co-headline show at Victoria Park on Friday 21 August 2026, with Nia Archives, Elmiene & The Sunday Service Choir, Destin Conrad, Westside Gunn, Uncle Waffles, DJ EZ, Wesley Joseph, Sekou, and Bellah all confirmed. They join previously announced artists kwn, Ayra Starr, and Odeal. Tickets are on sale now at allpointseastfestival.com.
The show is being curated by Jorja Smith alongside her label FAMM in collaboration with All Points East, with Tems performing as the penultimate act before Smith closes out the night. It marks another significant moment for Tems at the Victoria Park festival, having headlined Amex Afters at Village Underground during All Points East 2024. The BRIT Award-winning Smith and two-time Grammy Award-winning British-Nigerian star Tems make for one of the most compelling co-headline pairings of the summer.
Yorkshire junglist and multi-hyphenate artist Nia Archives is returning to the All Points East stage, having previously appeared at the festival. Since her emergence in 2020, the 24-year-old has been at the forefront of jungle’s new wave, winning the MOBO Award for Best Dance/Electronic Act in 2022 and placing third in the BBC Sound of 2023 poll. In 2025, she made BRIT Awards history as the first-ever junglist to receive three nominations in a single year.
One of the most distinctive bookings on the bill is a special one-off performance from Elmiene & The Sunday Service Choir. Elmiene’s 2026 debut album sounds for someone was described by NME as “brilliantly monumental”, with the British soul artist drawing on influences from 2Pac, Prince, and Stevie Wonder. The Sunday Service Choir, conducted by Jason White, has become a must-see live spectacle through collaborations with artists across gospel, R&B, and hip-hop.
Destin Conrad brings his Florida-rooted R&B to Victoria Park, fresh off the Grammy-nominated Love on Digital, which featured collaborations with Lil Nas X, Kehlani, and Serpentwithfeet. CLASH recently named him part of the “Florida renaissance” led by the likes of Doechii, and his ties to the UK scene run deep through collaborations with kwn and Sasha Keable. Westside Gunn, co-founder of Griselda Records, also joins the bill riding high off his critically acclaimed 2025 album 12, with his forthcoming Awesome God 3 described to XXL as his “last album”.
Eswatini-raised DJ, model and TV host Uncle Waffles rose to global prominence after a clip from a Soweto gig went viral, earning her a co-sign from Drake, who called her a “top DJ”. She brings her blend of deep house, jazz, and lounge music to East London, while legendary UK garage pioneer DJ EZ, described by The Guardian as a “linchpin” of the genre and famed for his iconic Boiler Room set, adds serious credibility to the dance music contingent of the bill.
Birmingham-born Wesley Joseph, a trained filmmaker and musician known for his vivid cinematic sound, returns to All Points East having last performed at the festival in 2022. His second project GLOW was praised by Pitchfork for its “graceful avant-R&B” style, and his self-directed video for ‘MONSOON’ won Best Independent Video at the 2025 Independent Music Awards. Joseph has collaborated closely with Jorja Smith herself, making his inclusion on this particular bill feel especially fitting.
Rounding out the bill are Leicestershire singer Sekou, whose breakout single ‘Better Man’ debuted at Glastonbury’s BBC Introducing tent in 2022 and has since earned co-signs from Bruno Mars, Dua Lipa, and Fred Again, and British-Nigerian singer-songwriter Bellah, dubbed the “Princess of UK R&B” by Complex. Bellah’s 2022 album Adultsville received critical acclaim, while her recent State of Emergency Vol 1. mixes smooth R&B with high-energy pop.
The Jorja Smith and Tems show is one of six headline events across All Points East 2026. The full festival schedule at Victoria Park sees Lorde on Saturday 22 August, Deftones at Outbreak Fest on Sunday 23 August, Tyler, The Creator across Friday 28 and Saturday 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots on Sunday 30 August. Group tickets and payment plans are available, and the event is open to those aged 16 and over, with under-18s required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Tickets are on sale now at allpointseastfestival.com.
