A week prior to the Strokes gig (August 18), Stormzy will headline All Points East for the first time, bringing a curated day of music dubbed ‘This Is What We Mean Day’, based around his new album ‘This Is What I Mean’.

He said in an announcement video: “I was thinking what’s next, cos we’ve done three O2s, shut that down. I said to the team, we gotta do something bigger, something better, something different. We were having back to back meetings, bouncing ideas. Then it hit me, I started jotting down ideas thinking – live band, need a live band.

“August 2023, a summer time thing, outside, for the people, always for my people. So August 2023, Victoria Park, more info coming soon….This Is What We Mean Day. Hard.” A full line-up of artists for ‘This Is What We Mean Day’ will be announced soon.

All Points East 2022 featured a headline set by Gorillaz, who were joined by Tame Impala to perform a brand new collaboration called ‘New Gold’ alongside Bootie Brown. Tame Impala also headlined a day, joined by a stacked full line-up including Caroline Polachek, Omar Apollo, Dry Cleaning, Working Men’s Cub, Mattiel and more.

This festival also saw headline performances from The National (Friday, August 26), Disclosure (Saturday, August 27) and Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds (Sunday, August 28).
