The Strokes to headline All Points East

All Points East which takes place in London's Victoria Park from Friday 18th - Sunday 27th August have announced that the headliners on Friday 25th August will be The Strokes.

With six UK top ten albums under their belt, the BRIT and GRAMMY Award winning outfit explosively landed on the scene in 2001 with their debut EP The Modern Age, going on to inspire a whole new generation of guitar-wielding indie rock bands. Over two decades later, they continue to lead the pack.

The New York quintet first played All Points East in 2019, as they returned to the stage for their first UK performance in four years.

Joining The Strokes on Friday 25th August are none other than New York contemporaries Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Formed in 2000, the legendary trio emerged from the same bustling underground scene in New York that took the world by storm. The multi-GRAMMY-nominated band have four UK Top Ten Albums and returned with their fifth studio record, Cool It Down, last year - their first since 2013’s Mosquito.

Also announced today include, indie pop artist from Norway, Girl in Red, Australian punks Amyl and The Sniffers American singer-songwriter Angel Olsen.

The Strokes are the second headliner announced for this year's All Points East, joining Stormzy who will be headlining and curating the line up on Friday 18th August.
