All Points East: two days of Tyler and two different festival lineups
All Points East 2026 in Victoria Park is not a festival with one unchanging lineup. The program is spread across several separate days, and August 28 and 29 are connected by the same headliner - Tyler, The Creator - alongside two significantly different artist lineups. Friday more strongly combines alternative rap, R&B, indie pop and a harder guitar sound, while Saturday leans toward hip-hop, neo-soul and singer-songwriter R&B.
Tyler comes to London during a period in which his catalog has expanded further with the album DON'T TAP THE GLASS, released in 2025 after CHROMAKOPIA. At the 2026 Grammys, he had six nominations, and CHROMAKOPIA won the award for Best Album Cover. This is important context for these two days: the audience is not coming only for a selection of older hits, but for an artist who is still in a very active phase of his career.
Tickets for this event are in demand. For visitors who want both Tyler days, there is a two-day option, while each day can also be attended separately.
Two days, two musical pictures
The most important thing is not to view August 28 and 29 as a repetition of the same program. Tyler, The Creator headlines both days, but the rest of the lineup changes the character of the festival.
Friday: from Turnstile and Clipse to Rex Orange County
Friday, August 28 brings Tyler together with Rex Orange County, Turnstile and Mariah the Scientist as the most prominent names below the headliner. Rex Orange County brings melodic pop and indie sensibility, Turnstile the energy of hardcore and alternative rock, and Mariah the Scientist modern R&B.
Deeper into the program, Clipse connects the day with the rap tradition, Vince Staples brings his distinctive West Coast auteur rap, while Ravyn Lenae, Rochelle Jordan and Yebba shift the focus toward R&B and soul. Sexyy Red, AG Club, BB Trickz, Jean Dawson, fakemink, Ecca Vandal, MUSTARD, Zack Fox and other names are also there.
- Headliner: Tyler, The Creator
- Featured artists: Rex Orange County, Turnstile, Mariah the Scientist
- Rap and hip-hop: Clipse, Vince Staples, Sexyy Red, AG Club, MUSTARD
- R&B and alternative pop: Ravyn Lenae, Rochelle Jordan, Yebba, Love Spells
- Alternative edge of the program: Jean Dawson, Ecca Vandal, fakemink and others
Friday is therefore interesting for visitors who enjoy moving between stages and genres. Rap can lead into R&B, and then into the set of a band whose sound is much closer to hardcore than to classic festival hip-hop.
Saturday: Daniel Caesar, Baby Keem and Dijon
Saturday, August 29 once again ends with Tyler, but the path to the headliner is different. Daniel Caesar, Baby Keem and Dijon occupy the most prominent positions in the program. Daniel Caesar and Dijon give the day a strong R&B and soul character, while Baby Keem maintains the connection with major contemporary rap production.
The lineup also includes Danny Brown, Ghostface Killah, MIKE and Quadeca, so Saturday brings together different generations of hip-hop. Faye Webster introduces a more intimate indie tone, Syd connects alternative R&B and soul, while Samara Cyn, Khamari, Jim Legxacy, PARTYOF2, Natanya and others expand the program beyond the biggest names. MUSTARD is also on the list again, while DJ Gummy Bear represents Montell Fish under a different performing identity.
For someone choosing only one day, the difference is clear. Friday has a more pronounced contrast between rap, R&B and guitar-driven sound. Saturday is more cohesive if the priorities are hip-hop, alt-rap, neo-soul and R&B. The two-day ticket is therefore not merely a practical combination of two dates, but access to two differently curated lineups.
Tyler, The Creator as the common axis
Tyler's position on both days fits the festival's identity well. His music crosses the boundaries of rap, soul, funk, pop and experimental production, making it possible to build a program around him that includes Turnstile just as convincingly as Daniel Caesar or Ghostface Killah.
DON'T TAP THE GLASS from 2025 arrived after CHROMAKOPIA, and both projects were represented at the 2026 Grammys. DON'T TAP THE GLASS was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album, while CHROMAKOPIA was also nominated for Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. Tyler performed material from both albums at the ceremony.
The festival should not be read as a promise that Tyler will perform two different sets simply because he is appearing on two evenings. It is confirmed that he is the headliner on both days and that the program around him changes. It is precisely the rest of the lineup that is the biggest difference in the two-day experience.
Places are disappearing quickly, especially when choosing between standard entry, earlier entry and separate festival zones.
Victoria Park as a major urban stage
Victoria Park is located in Tower Hamlets, in East London. It opened in 1845 and covers around 86 hectares. Tower Hamlets describes it as London's oldest public park and the largest park in that borough. Locally it is known as "Vicky Park", while the historic nickname "People's Park" recalls its original role as a public green space for the residents of the East End.
The open park structure is important for the festival. Large grassy areas allow for multiple stages, food and beverage zones and space to rest without the feeling of an enclosed stadium. At the same time, All Points East is an urban festival: there is no camping, and visitors leave the park after the program and return to London's transport network.
The festival also differs through the In The NBHD program, which in 2026 takes place from August 24 to 27 between the two blocks of major concert days. This part has free admission and includes music, DJs, family activities, cinema, fitness, theater, food and other activities.
Tickets and festival zones
For August 28 and 29, one-day and two-day options are available. General Admission is standard standing entry to the main festival area. Primary Entry allows earlier entry, which is useful for visitors who want to explore the site before the crowds or reach their preferred stage earlier.
VIP Garden is a separate area next to the East Stage with additional seating, a bar, food offerings and upgraded facilities. VIP Garden + VIP Pit adds access to a separate standing area for watching performances on the East Stage, with the option to leave that zone and return to the general festival area.
Viewing Platform and Ground Level Viewing Area options are also available for visitors who require accessible options. The conditions for such tickets should be checked before arrival.
The most important point is that the two-day ticket covers Friday and Saturday with Tyler. It does not mean access to all the other days of All Points East 2026.
When to arrive and how entry works
For Tyler's days, doors for General Admission open at 14:00. Certain categories with earlier entry may enter from 13:00. Final entry is at 20:30, and the box office closes at 20:00. Artist schedules may change, so they should be checked in the APE app on the day of the visit; the site map and program information are also available there.
The APE app is also used for tickets. Before leaving, visitors should check that the ticket is visible on the phone and that the device has enough charge.
For both Tyler days, the age restriction is 16+. Visitors aged 16 and 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 18 years old.
There is no re-entry after admission. If something is left at the hotel or apartment, leaving the festival grounds means that it is not possible to simply return using the same ticket. Before entering, visitors should therefore check their phone, documents, water and everything needed for the rest of the day.
How to get to Victoria Park
The event address is Victoria Park, Grove Road, London E3. For most visitors, public transport is the simplest option, and there is no parking at the event or in the immediate vicinity for standard arrival by car.
The recommended Underground stations are Mile End and Bethnal Green. Mile End is served by the Central, District and Hammersmith & City lines, while Bethnal Green is on the Central line. From those stations, the festival is approximately a 10 to 15-minute walk away. The Cambridge Heath and Bethnal Green Overground stations are also nearby.
Bus routes 8, 277, 309, 339, 388, D3 and D6 run near the park. On the return journey, visitors should expect larger crowds and possible diversions due to temporary road closures. On the Central line, the Night Tube operates on Friday night into Saturday and Saturday night into Sunday, while the District and Hammersmith & City lines do not have Night Tube service.
There is designated bicycle parking in Victoria Park, but bicycles, scooters and skateboards may not be taken into the festival grounds.
Bags, water and things that stay outside the festival
One bag per person is permitted, no larger than A4 size, approximately 297 x 210 x 210 mm. All people and bags are searched upon entry.
Food and drink may not be brought in, with two exceptions: an empty reusable bottle that can be filled inside the festival or water in unopened plastic packaging of up to 500 ml. Free water points are available on site, as well as bars and food outlets.
The festival is entirely standing. Chairs, folding chairs and inflatable seats are not permitted. A small blanket may be used in quieter areas away from the stages, but staff may ask for it to be put away when the area becomes more crowded.
Prohibited items include large umbrellas, glass, selfie sticks, sprays, fireworks, laser pointers, drones and professional recording equipment without the appropriate authorization. Crowd surfing and moshing are also prohibited. If there is any doubt about an item, it is safer to leave it at the accommodation.
Food, drink and the rhythm of a long festival day
General Admission includes access to the main area with bars, street food offerings and other facilities. VIP Garden has separate food and beverage offerings and additional seating, but most of the day is still spent standing and moving between stages.
Because of the breadth of the lineup, it is not realistic to try to see every performance. Friday in particular requires choices between artists from different genres, while Saturday will attract an audience that wants to follow more rap and R&B names. The most practical approach is to mark a few priorities in the schedule before entering and then leave room for an artist discovered on site.
The evening part of the program naturally becomes more crowded around the biggest performances. Anyone who wants to be closer to the main stage for Tyler should plan the schedule earlier and not assume that they will be able to make their way to the front areas without difficulty immediately before his set.
What to expect on a first visit
All Points East is primarily an urban music festival, not a camping weekend. Arrival is connected with London's Underground, buses and walking, and after the end of the program a large number of people head toward the surrounding neighborhoods and stations at the same time. A return plan is therefore almost as important as the performance plan.
The audience is mixed across genres because the program itself crosses scene boundaries. On Friday, fans of Tyler, Turnstile, Clipse, Yebba and Rex Orange County meet on the same day; on Saturday, Daniel Caesar, Baby Keem, Dijon, Danny Brown, Faye Webster and Ghostface Killah create a different cross-section of generations and styles. This is one of the clearest identities of All Points East: the major headliner is the anchor, but the value of the day comes from the program built around them.
For a first visit, the most important things are to arrive early enough, enter with a small bag or without one, have the ticket ready in the APE app and know in advance which route to take back from Victoria Park. Ticket sales for this event are ongoing.
