All Points East and Outbreak Fest announce their major headliner for 2026; multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band Deftones will be taking over Victoria Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. Tickets go on general sale on Friday 14 November 2025. Visit www.allpointseastfestival.com.
With Outbreak Fest London making its All Points East debut, Deftones will be joined by an incredible list of artists on Sunday 23 August, including Idles, Amyl & The Sniffers, EsDeeKid, JPEGMAFIA, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, Basement, Wisp, Deafheaven and Show Me The Body.
This summer’s inaugural London edition Outbreak Fest, in association with LIDO Festival, brought a taste of hardcore to Victoria Park. Headliners Turnstile performed alongside the likes of Knocked Loose, SPEED, Glassjaw and many more, while artists such as Alex G, Danny Brown, Have A Nice Life and Model/Actriz laid the foundations for the festival’s genre-diverse inclinations.
Deftones are set to headline the event following on from a stellar 2025 that saw them release their tenth studio album, private music, as well as a sold out global arena tour. Their set at All Points East presents Outbreak Fest will be a must-see for anyone looking to immerse themselves in one of the most powerful, eclectic discographies in contemporary alternative music.
UK post-punk figureheads IDLES will also perform, marking their first set on a London stage since headlining Alexandra Palace in 2024. Australian punks Amyl and the Sniffers will bring their sweat-soaked brand of punk rock to the APE x Outbreak Fest stage, having just toured across North America with Turnstile.
This year’s All Points East presents Outbreak Fest line up builds an even stronger commitment to blurring rigid genre confines within festival curation, as well as Merseyside viral rap sensation EssDeeKid, explosive rapper and producer JPEGMAFIA and one of global electronic music’s most exciting artists ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U.
The festival will also consolidate its reputation of showcasing the best in contemporary alternative music with UK emotional alt-rock heroes Basement making their first appearance at Outbreak Fest London after a headline performance at Outbreak Fest Manchester, while new age shoegaze star Wisp will continue to hypnotise audiences with an all-enveloping sound. Blackgaze pioneers Deafheaven will also return to Outbreak Fest with one of 2025’s most critically acclaimed releases, Lonely People With Power, in tow. Left-field New York punks Show Me The Body will also be bringing the force. Many more names are still to be announced.
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.
Dates for All Points East 2026 include Tyler The Creator’s two-day headliner slot (Friday 28 August and Saturday 29 August). Expect more incredible announcements soon for the 2026 edition of the UK’s most anticipated summer event.
