All Points East is already in full swing, with the first three days of performances this past weekend bringing sets by Jorja Smith + Tems, Lorde, and Deftones to London’s Victoria Park. Throughout this week, the park will be open for free In The Neighbourhood family-friendly activities before three more days of music this coming weekend.
The festival is set to be closed out on Sunday by a 2-hour-and-15-minute set by Twenty One Pilots, much longer than the festival sets they have been playing in Europe so far this summer. There’s lots of speculation among fans about what this could mean, but don’t let the chaos and fun distract you from these 5 artists we think you can’t miss earlier in the day!
Honey Revenge
Where: X Stage @ 5:10pm
Listen: “Trust Issues,” “Rerun,” “Sunday Scaries”
Similar Artists: Daisy Grenade, Charlotte Sands, Meet Me @ The Altar
Pop-rock band Honey Revenge just dropped their latest single, “Trust Issues,” off of their upcoming album Loving and Losing, and their sound fits perfectly into Sunday’s alternative rock-heavy lineup. Formed in 2021 in Los Angeles by singer Devon Papadol and guitarist Danny Lloyd, the group combines brighter, poppy sounds with heavy, rock-inspired guitar riffs, all underneath catchy lyrics. So, wear some purple and come check out their set on the X Stage!
Emi Grace
Where: E3 Stage @ 4:25pm
Listen: “SMH,” “Through My System,”
Similar Artists: Avril Lavigne, Olivia Rodrigo
Recently announced as support for Twenty One Pilots’ biggest hometown show ever as well as Knox’s US fall tour, singer, songwriter, and guitarist Emi Grace will be at the E3 stage Sunday afternoon to showcase her musical talent with both her voice and guitar. Her latest single, “SMH,” was released last month, with her EP The Bliss Of Ignorance set to be released at the end of September under Twenty One Pilots’ singer Tyler Joseph’s new label ARRO Records. She combines heavy guitar riffs with powerful lyrics, and she’s definitely a rising artist to keep an eye on.
half•alive
Where: West Stage @ 2:40pm
Listen: “still feel.,” “RUNAWAY,” “The Wolf”
Similar Artists: IDKHow, AJR, Twenty One Pilots
half•alive at All Points East on Sunday really shows the influence that Twenty One Pilots has had in the curation of this lineup. The group also recently joined ARRO Records alongside Emi Grace, and they opened for the band back on their 2021 US tour. They are set to release their new EP, Billions, just before the festival on Friday, August 28, and are sure to be playing some new songs for the first time during their set. Their funky sound is one very unique to the duo from California, and anyone looking to see or hear something new should check out their set!
Josie Edwards
Where: X Stage @ 2:10pm
Listen: “Chemical Light,” “good girls,” “Gravedigger”
Similar Artists: Vance Joy, Of Monsters and Men, AURORA
Josie Edwards is the newest addition to the lineup, added this past week. She just released her EP Greetings From Bleak St and will be first up on the X Stage this Sunday. Edwards is from a small town in Indiana, and her acoustic guitar- and piano-heavy folk sound is a great way to start off the festival for those looking to ease their way into the day.
PVRIS
Where: East Stage @ 4:05pm
Listen: “White Noise,” “My House,” “ANIMAL”
Similar Artists: CHVRCHES, Tonight Alive, Paramore
Fresh off of a huge ten-year anniversary tour for their album White Noise, PVRIS will be bringing a mix of alternative rock and electro pop to the big stage on Sunday. The band has mostly been the solo project of lead singer Lynn Gunn for the past few years, but they started with a heavier sound with White Noise and have grown into something spanning a multitude of genres with their synth-heavy latest album EVERGREEN. There’s sure to be a mix of these sounds during their set on Sunday, and it’s certainly not one you want to miss!
