FRIDAY 6TH MAY 2025: More top names including Jyoty, Nao, Montell Fish, Cat Burns and Eliza Rose have been added to a massive All Points East bill for Saturday 23 August topped by Raye.

The summer’s biggest female-led festival bill already features a London-exclusive performance by special guest Tyla, as well as Doechii and JADE.

More acts are still to be announced, tickets are on sale now via www.ticketmaster.co.uk.

Announced today for the show in Victoria Park in East London are Jyoty, Nao, Montell Fish, Cat Burns, Eliza Rose, Sienna Spiro, Chloe Qisha, Nia Smith, Mackenzy Mackay, Asha Banks, Alemeda, Zinadelphia, Sofia and the Antoinettes, Aqyila, Pedro Santos and Harleighblu.

Founder of legendary club night Homegrown, Jyoty is the ultimate irl playlist curator. The DJ and producer is best known for her masterful on-stage mixes, having played everywhere from Paradiso in Amsterdam, Glastonbury to All Points East and selling out back-to-back headliner dates at O2 Academy Brixton, London last year. Mixing genres and styles – from dancehall to South Asian beats – she’s invented her own blueprint of sound.

East Londoner Nao released a new album, Jupiter, earlier this year – her first since 2021’s acclaimed And Then Life Was Beautiful. The new record spans genres around R&B, led by a voice which, writes Pitchfork, “can ascend to the heavens or rumble in her throat”.

Pittsburgh artist and composer Montell Fish’s music encompasses lo-fi soft pop, chill hip-hop, and R&B. In the words of CLASH magazine, it is “imbued with soul, texture and the magic stuff that keeps you wanting more“, including his latest album, 2024’s CHARLOTTE.

As if singer-songwriter Cat Burns’ hadn’t achieved enough since she released her debut EP in 2016, this autumn she will appear on the BBC’s Celebrity Traitors. Before that, fans can catch viral hits including ‘go’, ‘wasted youth’ and recent single ‘GIRLS!’ at All Points East.

Best known for her absolutely massive track ‘B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All)’, Eliza Rose’s appearance is announced fresh from the release of the banging ‘I HEART YOU’, a collaboration with Confidence Man.

Described by The Line Of Best Fit as “one of the most accomplished and emotive young singers since the arrival of Adele”, Sienna Spiro released her debut EP, Sink Now, Swim Later, and is set for a very big 2025.

Last month, Chloe Qisha dropped a new EP, Modern Romance, which picked up 5 stars from Dork, describing it as “what you’d get if ABBA got wine-drunk in a group chat with Pulp about dating apps and climate anxiety”, adding: “It’s self-aware, sparkly, a little bit sad — and completely brilliant.”

‘Brixton’s Finest’ Nia Smith blends neo-soul and classic grooves. In November, she released her debut EP, Give Up The Fear, prompting Rolling Stone UK to report that she is “on the path to become an important voice within UK music”.

With 3 million monthly listeners, Mackenzy Mackey has grown a massive following, melding influences from the ’90s hip hop of Tupac and Biggie to alt-rock including Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Arctic Monkeys, drawing comparisons with artists like Post Malone, Dominic Fike, and Ed Sheeran. This year he returned with the upbeat pop of ‘Want You For Life’.

It is set to be a very big year for rising star Asha Banks, who appeared in a starring role in the romantic drama movie My Fault: London in February, before the release of her debut EP, Untie My Tongue. All Points East could be the next step to stardom.

Sudanese-Ethiopian-American artist Alemeda caused a major buzz last year with the release of her debut EP Fk It, building on the TikTok viral hits ‘Don’t Call Me’ and ‘Gonna Bleach My Eyebrows’.

Zinadelphia crafts timeless, colorful songs, releasing her debut Lucky EP in 2023, followed last year by The Magazine. “It’s the most me I’ve ever felt,” she said. Her ’60s-rooted aesthetic, combined with her love of icons Gloria Gaynor and Nancy Sinatra, birthed a project she describes as “burlesque, disco, old Hollywood western, and soul all combined – but could still fit a James Bond movie”.

2024 saw the emergence of Sofia and the Antoinettes with two singles, both lyrically raw anthems of heartache: ‘Matthew’ and ‘Buried (In This Room)’.

In April, Aqyila unveiled her debut album, Falling Into Place, with a bright pop sound that she described as the “culmination of years of hard work, growth, and learning”.

Portuguese singer Pedro Santos has built up a substantial following on YouTube and this week is aiming for huge pop success with the release of the catchy ‘Someone I Don’t Know’.

Harleighblu is a bold voice in UK Neo-soul, blending raw soul, hip hop, and jazz with sharp storytelling and fearless energy. Hailing from Nottingham, her breakout album She racked up over 5 million streams and 1,500 vinyl sales, earning praise from NME, Clash, GUAP, and HipHopDX.

Headliner RAYE is one of the brightest stars in music today, boasting eight Top 20 UK singles, 5 billion global Spotify streams, and a track record of writing for the industry’s biggest names. Following the release of long-awaited independent debut album My 21st Century Blues she was a feature of the awards list, picking up an unprecedented six BRITs, ‘Songwriter of the Year’ at the Ivor Novello Awards 2024 and three nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards. The mega-hit ‘Escapism’. was the song of 2023, the year she first appeared at All Points East, sharing a bill with the likes of Erykah Badu and Jungle. In 2025 she returns to headline – with a carefully curated list of very special guests.

Tyla, fresh from a triple success at the MTV Europe Music Awards, is one of the hottest stars on the planet right now. The recently released debut album includes hit singles ‘Push 2 Start’ and the Grammy-winning international hit ‘Water’.

For Doechii, the year has seen the release of the mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal – which was described by the Financial Times as “​​irreverent, raunchy and hilarious” and picked up the Grammy for Best Rap Album this year.

Last year, JADE soared to success with the bold Top 10 hit single ‘Angel of My Dreams’ as she launched her solo career, following more than a decade as a member of Little Mix, one of the UK’s biggest girl groups. CLASH magazine said the song was a “bold, bravura statement of frenetic creativity”. Second single ‘Fantasy’ has a stunning video directed by David LaChapelle and a mix featuring Channel Tres.
