Event Overview
Tyler, the Creator headlined London’s All Points East festival on consecutive nights, Friday August 28 and the following Saturday, 2026, performing sold-out shows at Victoria Park. He became the first artist to headline the event on back-to-back days. During the Saturday set, he thanked the audience for reviving the energy after describing the previous night’s crowd as “fucking dead.”
Festival Context and Line-up
All Points East opened its 2026 edition on August 21 with Jorja Smith and Tems, followed by performances from Lorde, Deftones and others. Tyler’s two-night bill featured a diverse roster that mirrored his genre-spanning catalog: rap acts such as Vince Staples, Clipse, Sexyy Red and BB Trickz; melodic performers including Rex Orange County, Mariah the Scientist, Yebba and Love Spells; and harder-edge bands like Turnstile, Ecca Vandal and Jean Dawson. Rex Orange County also warmed up for the festival with a Thursday August 27 show at Village Underground, joined by Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates.
Guest Appearances and Set Highlights
The Saturday performance included a surprise collaboration with Rex Orange County on “Boredom,” a song they had also performed together on Friday. Additional guests across the two nights comprised Daniel Caesar, Baby Keem, Dijon, Ghostface Killah, Syd, Faye Webster, Danny Brown, Jim Legxacy, Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats.
Official Remarks
Tyler, the Creator used his opening remarks on Friday to note that former Prime Minister Theresa May was no longer in office, a reference to the 2015 ban that had barred him from the United Kingdom. He framed the comment with expletives, underscoring the shift in his relationship with the UK over the past decade. On Saturday, he explicitly praised the second-night audience for lifting his spirits after the perceived low energy on Friday.
Upcoming Plans
Earlier in July 2025, Tyler released the studio album *Don’t Tap the Glass*, which received a four-star review from NME. In August 2026 he announced the lineup for Camp Flog Gnaw 2026, scheduled to return to Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium on November 14 and 15, featuring Turnstile, Lola Young, Steve Lacy, Future, Vince Staples and Syd.
