Tickets are on sale now. Visit allpointseastfestival.com.
Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band Deftones are set to headline the event following a stellar 2025 that saw them release their tenth studio album, private music. Now the Deftones renaissance is in full swing, with The Guardian giving them a glowing 5 stars when they played London’s O2 on their recent EU & UK tour.’
BROOKI are a 4-piece alt-rock band formed in Dublin in 2023. Blending raw emotion with atmospheric guitar lines and infectious melodies, the collective has earned comparisons to PJ Harvey and Wunderhorse. With a dynamic sound that feels both personal yet cinematic, they have emerged as a one-to-watch Irish band. Consisting of vocalist Sarah Brookfield, Guitarist Dara Gooney, Bassist Jake Brennan and drummer Anna Kelly — Brooki are a must-see of the summer.
Los Angeles trio Clarion are making their own rules. Blending alt-rock, post-punk, and shoegaze, the outfit have won fans over with their experimental, hardcore-styled EP, Blue Fairy. Defiant in sound and style, Clarion’s DIY-meets-distortion tone is tethered to their push-and-pull process, falling headfirst into a sound that uniquely comes their way. Best known for their viral breakthrough track ‘Hello Juliet’, this LA group have amassed over 2 million listeners on Spotify and are showing no signs of slowing down.
Born and raised in Southwest Atlanta (Ben Hill), Kenny Mason emerged with his 2019 mega-tune ‘Hit’ which blew up and later appeared in his 2020 project Angelic Hoodrat; however, he didn’t earn this pedigree overnight. Kenny spent years tinkering with genre-bending sounds and styles that set him apart from his peers. Now several projects in, Kenny’s ascent is steady, yet his reach is meteoric. Earlier this year, Pitchfork praised his third studio album, BULLDAWG, praising his finesse: “The Atlanta artist treats rap, rock, and gospel like born bedfellows, and the intricacy of his amalgamations speaks to the depth of his grounding in all three genres”. Fusing sounds with a mega-smash style, Kenny is knocking on the door of icons, showcasing his reverie as a rapper, writer and alt head.
Hailing from Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Overgrown are a four-piece band where nu-metal meets grunge. With a steady following, the collective have carved out a name for themselves with heavy hitters ‘Pieces’ and ‘Breathe’. Overgrown’s raw and melodic style has ensured a strong entrance to the alternative scene.
A new band from radio DJ and former guitarist for A and The Lucky Nine, Daniel P. Carter and Tummyache’s Soren Bryce, Reclus.É are something of an enigma. Inspired by Fugazi, The Stone Roses, The Cure, and Bad Brains, the collective’s name is taken from the French anarchist geographer Élisée Reclus. No doubt their sound is sprawling, best captured across new bold releases ‘A Muted TV’ and ‘Roads’. Unfiltered and unafraid to tap into topics of technology, wealth, warped self-image, and social psyche, Reclus.É are a glimpse of something fresh.
London four-piece alternative rock band Tooth – Tom Pollock, Ben Ashley, Roy Lowe, and Charlie Arnison – were united through friendship and a knack for songwriting. As Tom, Charlie and Ben met at school, the gang was completed with Roy. Earning praise from So Young Magazine and Strand Magazine and opening for rising acts Tough Cookie and Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Tooth have momentum that could take them all the way.
UK-based grunge-leaning rock band VILLANELLE is the brain child of friends Gene Gallagher (vocals/guitar), Ben Taylor (guitar) and Jack Schiavo (bass). Forming in 2023, the trio are on a mission: to revive the hype of raw, swaggering authenticity with hook-driven rock and roll. Taking inspiration from iconoclasts Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr and The Who, VILLANELLE are where the lo-fi grunge and grit hit their dialled-up intensity. Now, ready to rock out on the road, the band’s debut EP, Measly Means, will get you in the summer mood.
Taking place at the height of summer, Outbreak Fest and All Points East are coming together to present a celebration of boundary-pushing sounds grouped together by one thing: a complete refusal to be classified. With a lineup comprised of bona fide legends within their fields as well as leaders of the new school of experimentation, All Points East presents Outbreak Fest London 2026 provides a true insight into the landscape of amorphous music in all its forms and a unique festival experience unlikely to be found anywhere else.
Deftones join fellow headliners Jorja Smith and Tems on Friday 21 August, Lorde on Saturday 22 August, Tyler, The Creator’s two-day headline slot at Victoria Park on Friday 28 August and Saturday 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots on Sunday 30 August.
Tickets for Outbreak Fest and All Points East are available now.
