All Points East in Victoria Park: Saturday headlined by Tyler, The Creator
All Points East in London is not designed as a classic multi-day festival with one unchanging audience and the same musical identity from the first to the last day. The programme is spread across two weekends in Victoria Park, and each day has its own headliner and a specially curated group of artists. Between the two weekends, the space is taken over by In The NBHD, a free programme with music, DJ sets, family activities, food and other attractions. It is precisely this alternation between major concert days and an open programme that gives All Points East its distinctive format.
For Saturday, 29 August, the focus is entirely on Tyler, The Creator. Joining him are Daniel Caesar, Baby Keem and Dijon, while the wider line-up includes Danny Brown, dj gummy bear (Montell Fish), Dove Ellis, Faye Webster, Ghostface Killah, Jim Legxacy, Khamari, LEDBYHER, MIKE, Mustard, Natanya, PARTYOF2, Quadeca, Samara Cyn, Sunshine Benzi, Syd, Finn Askew, Moriah Mensah, Parsa Sabet, Rian Brazil, Wesley Joseph and Worldpeace DMT. It is a day that moves between alternative and experimental hip-hop, R&B, soul, indie pop and more production-intensive singer-songwriter music.

Why Saturday's programme is different from a typical rap festival day
Tyler, The Creator is the centrepiece of the programme, but the rest of the line-up has not been built as a succession of artists who all sound the same. His discography crosses the boundaries of rap, funk, soul, jazz and alternative pop. After CHROMAKOPIA in 2024, he released DON'T TAP THE GLASS in 2025, and at the 2026 Grammy Awards CHROMAKOPIA won the award for album artwork.
Daniel Caesar brings a more intimate take on R&B and soul. His Son of Spergy was released in 2025, and in 2026 he once again performed in the Tiny Desk format. Baby Keem represents contemporary, playfully produced rap; "Family Ties" with Kendrick Lamar earned him a Grammy for Best Rap Performance. Dijon's 2025 album Baby combines soul, experimental pop and raw studio textures. Faye Webster brings an indie sensibility, Syd alternative R&B, MIKE and Danny Brown experimental hip-hop, Ghostface Killah classic New York rap heritage, and Mustard the recognisable production energy of the American West Coast.
Because of this combination, the same day can move from a melodic and intimate performance to energetic hip-hop and a more alternative sound before Tyler's headline set.
Tyler, The Creator as a festival headliner
Tyler's major performances in recent years have relied on strong stage direction, visuals, costumes and sudden shifts in dynamics. The Guardian described his 2025 Birmingham performance as a physical and visually elaborate show connecting explosive and more intimate sections of the set.
What is particularly interesting for All Points East is that Tyler performs on two consecutive evenings with different supporting line-ups. Saturday is built around Daniel Caesar, Baby Keem, Dijon and artists who lean more strongly towards alternative R&B and experimental hip-hop. The day therefore functions as a separately curated programme rather than simply as a continuation of the previous evening.
Detailed set times are available in the festival app and may change. The organiser also states that the app is the means of entry for all 2026 festival days, so it is practical to install it and check the schedule before heading to the park.
Victoria Park is more than just a backdrop
Victoria Park is located in London's Tower Hamlets, east of the city centre. It opened in 1845 and covers around 86 hectares. It was created as a public space for residents of the then-overcrowded East End, and today it combines large lawns, lakes, tree-lined avenues, sports facilities and historic features.
Its size is especially important for the festival. Instead of an enclosed stadium-like feeling, All Points East uses an open park with multiple zones and stages. The main East Stage is associated with the largest part of the programme, while the festival infrastructure also includes North and West Stage zones. In practice, this means a fair amount of walking between performances, especially when schedules overlap.
This is a fully standing event. Chairs, folding chairs, seat sticks and inflatable seats are not permitted. Small blankets are allowed only in quieter areas, and staff may ask for them to be put away when the space begins to fill up.
It is worth securing tickets in good time.
Entry, age restriction and arrival time
For the Tyler, The Creator day on 29 August, the age restriction is 16+. Visitors aged 16 to 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 18 years old.
The main entrances open at 14:00. Certain ticket categories allow entry approximately one hour earlier, at around 13:00. The final entry to the festival site is at 20:30, while the box office closes at 20:00. Because tickets are checked and bags are searched at the entrance, arriving immediately before an artist you want to see carries an additional risk because of queues.
The re-entry rule is also important: once you have entered, leaving the festival site means you cannot return using the same ticket. This changes how the day should be planned. Everything you need for several hours in the park should be prepared before going through security.
- The age limit for this day is 16+.
- People aged 16 to 17 must be accompanied by someone who is at least 18 years old.
- The entrances open at 14:00, and some ticket categories allow earlier entry at around 13:00.
- Final entry is at 20:30.
- There is no re-entry after leaving.
Bags, water, food and payment
The entry rules are precise enough that they are worth checking before setting off. A maximum of one bag per person is allowed, and it must be approximately A4 size, no larger than 297 x 210 x 210 mm. All people and bags are subject to searches at the entrance. Large luggage is neither practical nor something that should be brought onto the festival site.
Food and drink cannot be brought in, with the exception of an empty reusable water bottle that can be filled on site or water in unopened plastic packaging of up to 500 ml. Free drinking-water points are available around the site. This is particularly useful at an all-day outdoor event where a lot of time is spent standing and moving between zones.
All Points East is cashless. Bars, food outlets and other concessions accept card and contactless payments, and there are no cash machines on the site. A variety of food traders and bars are available, so the festival is not limited to its music programme. There are also fairground rides, attractions and games that require an additional payment.
For visitors who need assistance, the First Aid & Welfare area is located near the main entrance and covers first aid, welfare and accessibility-related matters. Accessible toilets are also available at several points around the festival site.
Which types of tickets change the experience of the day
General Admission is the standard standing ticket for the main festival site. Primary Entry includes faster entry and the option to arrive up to an hour earlier. VIP options provide a dedicated entrance and access to the VIP Garden beside the East Stage, with additional seating, food, a bar and upgraded facilities.
There is also a two-day option for Friday and Saturday. For visitors with accessibility requirements, raised platforms and ground-level viewing zones are available by the East Stage, as well as designated areas by the North and West Stage, depending on availability. Earlier entry is particularly worth considering if getting a position closer to the main stage is a priority.
How to get to Victoria Park
The address of the festival site is Victoria Park, Grove Road, London E3. The organiser explicitly states that there is no parking for festival visitors either at the park or in its immediate surroundings, so public transport is a more practical choice than travelling 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 served by the Central line. Both are approximately a 10- to 15-minute walk from the park. The Cambridge Heath and Bethnal Green Overground stations are also nearby.
Bus routes 8, 277, 309, 339, 388, D3 and D6 run close to Victoria Park. After the event, routes may be diverted because of road closures, and queues may form at station entrances. The Central line has Night Tube service on Saturday night into Sunday, while the District and Hammersmith & City lines do not have overnight Underground service.
It is also possible to reach the park by bicycle. A designated bicycle parking area is provided for the festival, but bicycles, scooters, skateboards, roller skates and personal motorised vehicles are not permitted inside the festival site, with exceptions for mobility aids.
How to plan the day without missing key performances
The line-up is broad enough that some of the programme will overlap, so it is better to choose several priorities in advance rather than trying to see everything. If Tyler, The Creator is the main reason for attending, it makes sense to stay closer to the East Stage before his set. Daniel Caesar, Dijon and Faye Webster offer a calmer melodic direction, while Baby Keem, Danny Brown, MIKE and Ghostface Killah cover different shades of hip-hop. Syd, Samara Cyn and Khamari further expand the R&B side of the programme.
The festival app displays set times and allows you to create a personal schedule. Because the organiser warns that performance times may change and that performances may differ from the published timetable, it is useful to check the plan during the day itself as well.
What to expect from the crowd and atmosphere
Saturday's crowd brings together fans of Tyler, contemporary R&B, alternative rap and the indie scene. Because of Victoria Park's open format, the atmosphere changes throughout the day: the earlier hours leave more room to explore smaller performances and festival zones, while towards the evening the crowd becomes concentrated around the key stages. Part of the experience is therefore moving between different musical micro-scenes rather than simply waiting for the headliner.
Tickets for this event are currently on sale.
Practical check before setting off
Before travelling, check that your ticket is available in the festival app and that your phone has enough battery. Bring only a bag of the permitted size, plan to use public transport and leave enough time between performances for walking and crowds. For the journey back after the event, expect queues at stations and possible changes to bus routes.
