All eyes are on East London as All Points East festival unleashes a thrilling new wave of support acts to join the already electric line-up for Twenty One Pilots' only UK concert date this year. The American duo's distinctive blend of alternative rock and pop is set to ignite the stage at the iconic festival on Sunday, August 30th – and fans are in for a treat as five fresh faces join the party.
Organisers had already thrown down the gauntlet with an initial lineup that read like a who's who of emerging talent, featuring Wunderhorse, Nova Twins, REN, BBNO$, PVRIS, Dead Pony, Kid Kapachi, and LEAP. And then came a second wave of additions that further fuelled anticipation for the event – Gang of Youths, Jessie Murph, Half Alive, Noahfinnce, Honey Revenge, Mouth Culture, Royal & The Serpent, Red Leather, Teen Jesus And The Teen Teasers, Artio, Emi Grace, and Reece Young all brought their unique flavour to the table. Now, with this latest announcement, the party is truly in full swing.
The new additions include Manchester rock outfit Hot Milk, who are set to bring their high-energy sound to the festival; New York duo Ray Bull, whose catchy hooks will have everyone singing along; Scottish-American band Witch Post – fresh from featuring in the 2026 NME 100 list – who promise a sonic blend of indie and electronic; Australian alt three-piece Headsend, known for their infectious rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes; and British rockers The Meffs, whose gritty edge is sure to get festival-goers moving.
Twenty One Pilots' London appearance will be in support of their eighth studio album, 'Breach', which dropped in 2025. Before taking the East London stage, they'll be tearing it up at major European festivals like Rock Werchter, NOS Alive, Mad Cool, and Sziget – a testament to their unstoppable energy and infectious live performance.
And then there's the rest of the festival – an absolute powerhouse of talent that promises to deliver something for every musical taste. Co-headliners Jorja Smith and Tems will get things underway on August 21st, while Lorde takes centre stage on August 22nd. Tyler, The Creator will bring his unique brand of psychedelic funk to the party over two nights (August 28th and 29th), and Outbreak 2026 on August 23rd is set to be an absolute riot with Deftones, IDLES, Interpol, and Amyl & The Sniffers all ready to unleash their sonic fury.
Twenty One Pilots' ongoing connection with their devoted fanbase has been evident in the run-up to this festival – from the release of the fan-favourite track 'Drag Path' earlier this year to their constant output of new material. It's clear that these guys are on a mission to bring the noise, and All Points East 2026 is shaping up to be the ultimate destination for music lovers everywhere.
