All Points East is a brand new, 10-day event which will include a diverse three-day music festival.

Artists set to perform across the three days include headliners LCD Soundsystem, The xx and Bjork. This will be followed by a four-day community focused midweek programme of comedy, food and outdoor cinema events.

All Points East will culminate with three APE Presents... events, which will include the exclusive Cave performance on 3 June and a Saturday show headlined by The National.
