Phoebe Bridgers will make her All Points East debut on Friday 27 August 2027, headlining Victoria Park in what the festival is calling her biggest ever solo headline show. The four-time Grammy winner is the first name confirmed for the east London festival’s return, which again runs across two weekends.
She will be joined by a curated bill of Caroline Polachek, Kelsey Lu, Danielle Ponder and jasmine.4.t. Plenty more names are still to come.
The All Points East presale opened at 10am on Wednesday 28 October. General sale follows at 10am on Thursday 29 October at allpointseastfestival.com.
Friday 27 August 2027, confirmed so far:
- Phoebe Bridgers
- Caroline Polachek
- Kelsey Lu
- Danielle Ponder
- jasmine.4.t
Bridgers’ third solo album, Lost Weekend, gave her a first solo Official Number 1 when it came out in August. The festival says it is currently ranked as the most critically acclaimed album of 2026. An arena tour of the US, UK and EU sold out within hours, and has already taken her to the largest audiences of her career.
She also makes her acting debut in the A24 drama Primetime, directed by Lance Oppenheim and starring Robert Pattinson, on wide release on 30 October. Bridgers contributed the film’s end title song, On Video.
Caroline Polachek is known for a long vocal range and forward-leaning pop production. Pang and Desire, I Want To Turn Into You earned Grammy and Brit nominations, and Pitchfork called the latter “the best album of her career”, a “passionate, richly melodic odyssey into the darkest corners of love”. Recent work includes collaborations with Charli XCX, Danny L. Harle and Blood Orange, plus a theme for Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding 2.
North Carolina’s Kelsey Lu is a classically trained cellist, singer, producer, composer, poet and performance artist. Collaborators run from Yves Tumor, Sampha, Florence + The Machine and Skrillex to Kahlil Joseph, Wu Tsang, Precious Okoyomon and Jacolby Satterwhite. Recent scores include the Netflix documentary Daughters, Savanah Leaf’s BAFTA-winning Earth Mama, and Janicza Bravo’s short House Comes With a Bird, alongside Pedro Pascal and Natasha Lyonne.
Danielle Ponder’s sophomore album, Everything Has Changed, is her Dead Oceans debut, released in partnership with Bridgers. The Rochester-born, Atlanta-based singer spent her adult life as a criminal justice lawyer before leaving the law in 2021, aged 39, to make music full time. She signed her first record deal in 2022. Debut album Some of Us Are Brave led to Jimmy Kimmel Live! and sold-out shows at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Afropunk and Montreux Jazz Festival.
Manchester’s jasmine.4.t makes intimate, diaristic songs shaped by her life as a trans woman. Debut album You Are The Morning, released in 2025, was produced by Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus and came out on Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records. It placed her in the wider boygenius orbit, and has travelled particularly far inside the trans community.
Last year’s Victoria Park run set the scale Bridgers is walking into. All Points East 2026 booked Jorja Smith and Tems on 21 August, Lorde on 22 August, Deftones on 23 August, Tyler, The Creator on 28 and 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots on 30 August.thefestivals+3
Between those weekends, the festival brought back In The Neighbourhood, a free four-day community programme in Victoria Park. That midweek run included open-air film, live music, sport and wellbeing sessions, arts and crafts, children’s theatre, a street food market and pop-up bars.
