The wait is over – Deftones' headlining performance at Outbreak Fest in London just got even more electrifying! Organisers of All Points East have unleashed a torrent of fresh talent onto the bill, adding seven new acts to the already star-studded line-up. The special collaboration between All Points East x Outbreak is set to bring the house down at Victoria Park on Sunday, August 23, with the iconic Sacramento metal band Deftones riding high as the main event.
The latest additions are a veritable feast for music fans: Villanelle and Tooth, two emerging talents ready to burst onto the scene; Brooki from Dublin, bringing their unique alt-rock sound; Clarion from LA, whose harmonies will have you hooked; Kenny Mason, the Atlanta rapper/singer with an unstoppable flow; Overgrown, the nu-metal/grunge outfit that's got everyone talking; and Reclus.É, Daniel P Carter's new project that's already making waves.
This explosion of new talent joins forces with earlier announced acts like IDLES, Amyl & The Sniffers, JPEGMAFIA, Interpol, AFI, and Salem – a line-up that's as diverse as it is exciting. It's shaping up to be an unforgettable summer in London, with multiple high-profile headliners taking centre stage across different dates.
Deftones have been busy making waves this year, having wrapped up their UK and European headline tour with a sold-out performance at The O2 in London – talk about leaving the crowd wanting more! Their summer 2026 schedule is just as packed, with appearances at Edinburgh Summer Sessions and Dublin's IMMA. And let's not forget their critically acclaimed tenth studio album, 'Private Music', which dropped last summer.
The economic boost that festivals like All Points East provide to local businesses can't be overstated – increased ticket sales and attendee numbers translate into a welcome injection of cash for hospitality and travel services in London. It's good news for UK households too, with potential job opportunities on the horizon in event staffing and ancillary services.
As major festivals like All Points East continue to thrive, it sends a clear signal that consumers are willing to spend on leisure activities – a positive indicator of economic health. The Bank of England takes close note of consumer spending patterns, as sustained demand for non-essential goods and services can have a significant impact on inflation and interest rate decisions.
