Kaytranada’s last record, ‘Kaytraminé‘, came out last year alongside collaborator Aminé. In a four-star review NME declared it a “contender for the summer’s hottest album”.
It added: “Bridging inventive production, confident lyricism, and delightful sonics, it shows off the genius and depth of their cohesive partnership; long may it continue.”
It ranked in 31st place on NME‘s top albums of 2023 list.
Last year’s edition of the All Points East saw The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Walkmen and many more take to the stage. The Strokes’ set was described as “a brilliant balancing act” in a four-star NME review, despite battling sound issues.
Stormzy also staged a career-highlight headline performance as part of his ‘This Is What We Mean’ day. In a four-star review, NME wrote that the “rapper’s rainy return” offered a “change of pace”. It added: “A performance in two acts risks alienating more casual fans but ultimately pays off for Stormzy’s only UK show of the year.”
In other news, last month it was revealed that London’s Victoria Park is set for more events and bigger festivals, and is now permitted to host 12 events a year up from 10.
