RAYE to Headline All Points East 2025 After Record-Breaking Year

All Points East is set to return for summer 2025, and the latest headliner announcement has fans buzzing: the unstoppable RAYE will take centre stage as the main act on Saturday, 23 August. Tickets go on general sale at 10am GMT on Friday, 15 November.

In a message to fans, RAYE shared her excitement: “London… we are headlining All Points East festival on Saturday, 23 August 2025. We’re bringing you a beautiful show filled with passion and incredible musicians to Victoria Park. I’m going to work hard to make it the most beautiful show we are capable of. Tickets available on Friday at 10am – I cannot wait to see you there!“

RAYE’s journey over the past 18 months has been remarkable. Her debut album My 21st Century Blues, released independently, soared to No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart, catapulting her raw talent into the global spotlight. Featuring the viral single “Escapism.”, which became the best-selling single by a British female artist in 2023, the album earned RAYE her first UK No. 1 and an entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it has since gone Double Platinum.

Her accolades this year have been exceptional: six BRIT Awards—a record-breaking achievement for the most wins by any artist in a single year—including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and the distinction of being the first female to win Songwriter of the Year. RAYE marked the event with a powerful medley performance from My 21st Century Blues.

2024 has seen continued recognition for RAYE, with three Grammy nominations for Best New Artist, Songwriter of the Year, and Engineered Album. Her Coachella debut, Met Gala attendance in custom Fendi, and spot on TIME Magazine’s Next Generation Leaders list have only strengthened her standing in the industry. This year, RAYE also took home Best Female Act at the MOBO Awards, Songwriter of the Year at the Ivors, and Best Song at the Global Awards for her hit “PRADA,” a collaboration with Cassö and D-Block Europe.

Alongside her solo work, RAYE has penned songs for music icons like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Ellie Goulding, and delivered unforgettable performances at prestigious venues. This year’s rendition of her “My 21st Century Symphony” at The O2 Arena—accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra—was a career-defining moment, hailed by critics as a BBC special for the ages.

In September, RAYE performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, inspiring a special digital and vinyl release of her set. Her return to All Points East marks her first time back since she performed on the same billing as Erykah Badu and Jungle in 2023.

Joining RAYE at All Points East 2025 are fellow headliners Barry Can’t Swim on Friday, 22 August and The Maccabees on Sunday, 24 August, their first show in eight years. More headliners are expected to be announced soon.

In 2024, All Points East welcomed the likes of Kaytranada, Loyle Carner, Mitski, LCD Soundsystem, The Postal Service, and Death Cab for Cutie, with carefully curated line-ups each day. Between weekends, the In The Neighbourhood programme offered four days of community activities and free entry to Victoria Park.
