More acts added to All Points East | Festival News

All Points East has unveiled its impressive line up alongside previously announced headliners The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie at London's Victoria Park this summer. The roster includes enchanting folk storytellers The Decemberists, indie-pop heavyweights Phoenix, and the energetic performances of Gossip and Sleater-Kinney. This diverse and innovative billing also features Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub, Wednesday, and Soft Launch.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their albums Give Up and Transatlanticism, The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie will co-headline a tour. Benjamin Gibbard, co-founder of both bands, will perform double duty each night, playing with The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie. This unprecedented show will showcase the iconic groups performing their seminal 2003 albums in full. Notably, it marks The Postal Service's first appearance in London in over a decade.

The Decemberists, led by frontman Colin Meloy, bring their narrative-driven, conceptual sound to the line up. Known for their literary-inspired lyrics, the band has earned revered status in the indie-folk scene with albums like The Crane Wife and The Hazards of Love.

Grammy-winning French group Phoenix, recognized for infectious synth-pop, achieved international acclaim with their breakout album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix in 2009. Their hit single '1901' soared on charts worldwide.

Gossip, fronted by charismatic Beth Ditto, promises to bring fierce energy to Victoria Park with hits like 'Standing in the Way of Control' and 'Heavy Cross', the former becoming an LGBTQ anthem. Sleater-Kinney, representing feminist punk ethos, released their latest album Little Rope this year, earning critical acclaim.

Indie veterans Yo La Tengo, Glasgow icons Teenage Fanclub, rising sensation Wednesday, and London locals Soft Launch further enrich the line up with their distinctive sounds. Wednesday's unique blend of shoegaze and country rock, coupled with Soft Launch's synth-laden atmospheric hits, adds an exciting dimension to the festival.

This momentous line up, touching all corners of the alternative sphere, pays homage to music history. All Points East is set to be a celebration of enduring names, bringing legendary acts to Victoria Park. Alongside The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie, previously announced headliners include Loyle Carner (17 August) and LCD Soundsystem (23 August), with more acts yet to be announced.
