All Points East 2026 Final Headline Show Announced: Twenty One Pilots

East London's celebrated festival All Points East will be welcoming American rock sensation Twenty One Pilots as UK exclusive headliners, marking their debut show at Victoria Park on Sunday 30 August 2026. The Grammy-winning band will be supported by the newly announced artists Gang of Youths, Jessie Murph, Half Alive, Noahfinnce, Honey Revenge, Royal & The Serpent, Mouth Culture, Red Leather, Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers, Artio, Emi Grace and Reece Young. Tickets are available atallpointseastfestival.com.

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Gang of Youths formed in 2011. Today, the band consists of members David Le'aupepe (lead vocalist), founder Max Dunn (bass), Jung Kim (guitarist), Donnie Berzestowski (drummer) and Tom Hobden (violin). In 2015, the band's debut album,The Positions, was brilliantly received, peaking at No. 5 on the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) chart and receiving five outstanding nominations. The band's red-hot single, 'Magnolia', also charted on Triple J Hottest 100 in the same year and by 2018, it had been certified platinum. 

By 2017, the Aussie band had relocated to London. Their raw second studio album, Go Father in Lightness, swept the ARIAs, winning Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album and Best Producer of the Year as well as four additional extraordinary successes at the National Live Music Awards (NLMAs). The rock band's emotional third studio album, Angel In Realtime, was released, inspired by the loss of Le'aupepe's stepfather, touching on genres of pop-punk to exploratory rock. As a project, its details hone in on the existential and intimate, even tying in aspects of frontman Le'aupepe's Polynesian heritage, sampling authentic cultural instrumentation. Today,  Gang of Youths remains one of Australia's notorious and beloved bands. Having toured with major acts Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons and Sam Fender. Now, Gangs of Youths are adding Twenty One Pilots to that outstanding list. 

At 21 years old, Jessie Murph is already a Gen Z phenomenon. Quietly emerging to the forefront as a must-listen artist, her music delicately broaches topics of addiction, mental health and social issues into her art. Growing up in a musical household in Alabama, she discovered her passion early, latching onto the outlet that felt uplifting and empowering. On her debut album, Drowning, Murph showcased her skill as a creator, releasing a dynamic and thought-provoking record. "Throughout the entirety of drowning, Jessie Murph proves again and again that she has this uncanny ability to take any genre, be it R&B, pop, folk, country or soul – and make it her own," Prelude Press writes. 

Murph's step into the spotlight comes after her traction on social media, notably TikTok, where she began uploading vlogs and covers in 2019. The singer-songwriter earned praise for her renditions of Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen and Rihanna, as well as sharing her own songs. Her sophomore album, Sex Hysteria, was praised for its flow and innovation. "[Murph's] style is that the flow and attitude of hip-hop are so deep in her DNA that her verses, even when sung, hit like rap lyrics. That's more prominent than ever on Sex Hysteria, which has even more sass and swagger than her impressive 2024 debut, That Ain't No Man That's The Devil," Variety writes. 

Today, Murphy's TikTok platform has over 11.7 million followers alongside 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Now, following her second album, the Alabama artist has released her new single 'Criminal' from the Original Motion Picture Scream 7, alongside artists such asNick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Ice Nine Kills and McKenna Grace

American indie-pop trio Half Alive (Josh Taylor, Brett Kramer and J. Tyler Johnson) formed in 2016 in Long Beach, California. Best known for their riveting debut breakthrough album Now, Not Yet. The band whipped up a frenzy on the charts, coming in fast with the lead single 'Still Feel' peaking in the top 10 of Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart. However, the band's success didn't end with Half Alive's first record landing at no. 1 on the US Heatseekers Albums chart,  no. 15 on Billboard's Top Alternative Albums chart and no. 7 on the Australian (ARIA) Hitseekers chart. Only a year later, Half Alive were picked out as YouTube's Artist on the Rise and made their TV debut, performing 'Still Feel' on Jimmy Kimmel Live. 

By 2022, Half Alive supported Twenty One Pilots on their Takeover Tour and released their second studio album, Conditions of a Punk. Whynow marked the release as a signal of Half Alive's knack for producing "wholesome, upbeat releases." Elsewhere, Line of Best Fit credits the record's humanist theme, stating: the self–realisation concept shines most when backed by powerful instrumentation". 

As Half Alive continue to evolve and grow, the band has picked up a die-hard fanbase, eager to see where the music goes next. Described by NPR, the band are emerging "with a clear vision and gift for design, not just in the earworms they write, but in their entire presentation". With each release, Half Alive are only just getting started on crafting their legacy. In their latest move, the collective released their 2024 album Persona and, a year later, a deluxe rendition which included a live performance of 'R.I.P' and a new unreleased song called ' Tears in the Rain'. Across their latest project, Unclear Magazine hones in on the band's introspective outlook, "The humans behind the band include lead singer Josh Taylor, drummer Brett Kramer, and bassist J. Tyler Johnson, whose combined artistry proves to be enduringly genuine". 

Ascot-born Noah Adam, aka Noahfinnce, first started posting covers on YouTube in 2015. Over recent years, he performed songs from bands Neck Deep and My Chemical Romance. In 2016, he released a cover of Grace VanderWaal's single 'I Don't Know My Name', which went viral with over 1.6 million views. As Adam's profile continued to grow, he released his debut single, 'Asma Attack', a powerful song about coming out as transgender. The single quickly picked up online as he continued to release more original music. By 2020, Adams had signed with Hopeless Records and become one of YouTube's most visible LGBTQIA+ content creators. 

In 2023, Adams was part of YouTube's "Your Favourite Creators' Favourite Creator" and their Music Pride 2023 campaign. Only a year later, he was announced as a Spotify Glow (LGBTQIA+) UK + IE Ambassador, as well as being named as Amazon's Music UK 2024 Breakthrough Artist and Notion's Artist to Watch 2024. An entirely original musician, Kerrang praised Adam's debut album, Growing Up on the Internet, as "an artist embracing self-expression with an appealing no-holds-barred authenticity". Adams has continued to build a dedicated following online with over 1 million YouTube subscribers and 720k followers on TikTok. His music has continued to develop, touring with rock artists Enter Shikari, McFly, Busted, and Fever 333. Simply put, Adams brings a refreshing new energy to the world of alternative rock and pop punk with his punchy anthems, as well as establishing himself as a prominent figure within the online LGBTQ+ community.

Los Angeles pop-rock duo Honey Revenge (Devin Papadol, vocals and Donovan Lloyd, guitar) formed in 2021. Their breakout song 'Habitual', released in 2023, flips the script on negative energy and attitude with its vibrant dance track. In the same year, the pair released their debut album, Retrovision, collaborating with producers Josh Strock, Zach Jones and Kris Crummett. Praised by Kerrang, their punchy purple album was awarded 4 stars. "Formed in the depths of the pandemic, the duo's speciality is sparky pop-rock with a knack for damn-near virulent hooks, nestled in the sweet spot between 2010s-inspired scene anthems and nostalgic Disney Channel rock. Pleasingly, their debut album is a sugary alcopop of a record – sweet, colourful, easily consumable, and quickly gives you the hit you want."

Following their debut release, they have shared the stage with artists Loveless, The Home Team, Arrows In Action, Rain City Drive and State Champs. Next up is their new shimmeringly bright single 'Hot Commodity'. Labelled by Rock Sound as "bristling with fiery confidence", offering a "bass-heavy disco banger of the most neon-drenched variety". Bringing their syrupy purple style to All Points East, Honey Revenge will no doubt produce a surefire set in Victoria Park. 

Leicester trio Mouth Culture are one of indie-rock's most exciting bands. Forming in 2018, the three-piece (Jack Voss, vocals, Mason Clifford, guitar, and Todd Groome, bass), are on a mission to become the UK's biggest rock band. The collective's EPs, Mishaps of My Mid Twenties and Whatever The Weather, are surefire authentic releases that prod and unpick topics of growth, reflection and change. As the mania around the band continues to grow, Mouth Culture are continually one-upping themselves. From touring around with childhood heroes, You Me At Six to touring with While She Sleeps, Teenage Wrist, The Blackout, and Hot Milk – the band are on an incredible rise. Described by Ticketmaster Discover as "Poised to become one of the most exciting bands in the British alt-rock landscape", it looks like anything is possible for Mouth Culture. 

Enigmatic Los Angeles-based musician Royal & The Serpent (Ryan Santiago) is all about individuality. Best known for their complex, layered alt-rock, Royal & the Serpent is a mesmerising act. Unflinching and unafraid, she made her industry mark in 2020 with her vulnerable breakout song 'Overwhelmed',  which reached No. 24 on Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. Since then, she has comfortably grown her eclectic audience with 2.4 million Spotify monthly listeners. Only a year later, she featured on the track 'Sound the Alarm' alongside Rivers Cuomo for a song released by The Knocks, which landed in the Top 30 of the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart. League of Legends fans are also familiar with her work due to the fantastic soundtrack contribution with the immensely popular song 'Wasteland" from Netflix's award-winning series Arcane. Now, out with her new single 'Favourite person', Royal & the Serpent is funnelling their feelings towards a complicated relationship. As Ones to Watch puts it: "If there's one thing alt-pop singer Royal & the Serpent does best, it's deftly navigate the messy contradictions of life."

Anonymous Nevada-born alternative country-rock musician Red Leather has built a huge following online, with 1.5 million followers on TikTok and 1 million listeners on Spotify. In 2023, he went viral on TikTok for donning his signature red fringed leather outfit while busking on Hollywood Boulevard. Since then, the musician has won fans over with his sincere, personal lyrics. His most popular single, 'SINS' showcases his vulnerability as he confesses, openly, to listeners about his addiction and shame. 

Self-described as "Jack Black adjacent", Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers have emerged as one of Australia's most exciting acts. Named the Guardian Australia's headline act in 2025, the four-piece (Anna Ryan, Scarlett McKahey, Jaida Stephenson, Neve van Boxsel) are soon to be your favourite new acts. In a matter of years, the band's success has been well-deserved and, equally, outstanding. The band's 2022 debut EP, Pretty Good For A Girl Band, won the 2023 AIR Award for Best Independent Punk Album/EP. A year later, they also took home the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist honour at the 2024 ARIA Awards. In the same year, Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers were selected by Foo Fighters to support them on a stadium tour. The Canberra-based collective also supported The Vaccines on their 2024 UK and European tour. Meanwhile, their 2025 album, GLORY, was featured across Billboard, Rolling Stone Australia, and more, proving this band is by no means done just yet. 

Formed in 2018, Gen Z Leeds-based DIY Artio are made up of lead vocalist and lyricist Rae Brazill, lead guitarist Rob Arkle, rhythm guitarist Jai Akhurst, and drummer/producer Ieuan Jones. Taking inspiration from genre benders Twenty One Pilots, PVRIS and Skrillex, Artio are not bound by a singular style. Emboldened by their DIY ethos, the band produces all their material, directs their music videos, and handcrafts their stage outfits. A newcomer band on the scene, Artio have toured with VUKOVI, Honey Revenge, Mothica and Lake Malice, increasingly leaving their mark on the alt scene. 

Born and raised in Southern California, Emi Grace fuses rock, guitar music and electronic to make her freewheeling style. Drawing influences from rock icons Tom Morello, No Doubt & Van Halen while picking up shows at NAMM, School Night LA, The Troubadour, and opening for Winnetka Bowling League. Now residing in LA, Grace continues to develop her vocal melodies or head-banging guitar riffs, prepping for an unforgettable set at All Points East.

Rock Sound-approved New Jersey artist Reece Young is making metal in his own way. As he shapes his music around his tales of adversity, the singer candidly shares his world with his listeners. Taking inspiration from his heroes (Twenty One Pilots, Bring Me The Horizon and Jon Bellion), Young is just getting started. 

GRAMMY Award-winning band Twenty One Pilots have shifted music and culture as an incomparable creative force and with an ever-evolving vision. The Columbus, OH duo—Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun— have tallied over 34 billion global streams and counting, sold north of four million tickets worldwide, notched dozens of multi-Platinum certifications, and even claimed a spot in the Guinness® Book of World Records. 

On 12 September, Twenty One Pilots unveiled their eighth studio album, Breach, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 200k album equivalents and earned the biggest rock debut of the decade and the biggest week in vinyl sales for a rock record since tracking began in 1991. This was the band's first #1 since 2015's 6x-Platinum breakout LP, Blurryface, which was the first album to notch a RIAA Gold or Platinum certification for every single song, earning the same distinction shortly after for 2013's Vessel. They also remain one of only 18 artists to earn multiple RIAA Diamond certifications with hits 'Stressed Out' and 'Heathens'. The band continued to dominate the charts with 2018's Platinum-certified Trench, which featured GRAMMY-nominated track 'Jumpsuit', followed by 2021's Scaled and Icy and 2024's Clancy, which both marked the biggest rock debuts of their release years. This fall, Twenty One Pilots concluded THE CLANCY TOUR: BREACH 2025, which saw them hit stadiums and amphitheatres across North America. The band recently paid tribute to The White Stripes with a cover of 'Seven Nation Army' at the 2000s icons' induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which was lauded as a highlight of the night.

The show will include an All Points East exclusive Fan Premier Exhibit on the festival grounds featuring Twenty One Pilots memorabilia, including new Breach items from the band's personal collection, interactive photo opps, and more. Plus, step into the immersive Banditø Camp — a community space within the festival grounds fans can take photos, explore the camp's artefacts, and connect with fellow Banditos. The band is also bringing their iconic headline Breach tour B-stage experience to the festival.
