Today, Outbreak Fest and All Points East are announcing a new wave of support acts for the already stacked Deftones-headlined lineup on Sunday 23 August. These include (A-Z) Brooki, Clarion, Kenny Mason, Overgrown, Reclus.É, Tooth and Villanelle. Tickets are on sale now. Visit allpointseastfestival.com. Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band Deftones are set to headline the event following a stellar 2025 that saw them release their tenth studio album, private music. Now the Deftones renaissance is in full swing, with The Guardian giving them a glowing 5 stars when they played London’s O2 on their recent EU & UK tour. BROOKI are a 4-piece alt-rock band formed in Dublin in 2023. Blending raw emotion with atmospheric guitar lines and infectious melodies, the collective has earned comparisons to PJ Harvey and Wunderhorse. With a dynamic sound that feels both personal yet cinematic, they have emerged as a one-to-watch Irish band. Consisting of vocalist Sarah Brookfield, Guitarist Dara Gooney, Bassist Jake Brennan and drummer Anna Kelly — Brooki are a must-see of the summer. Los Angeles trio Clarion are making their own rules. Blending alt-rock, post-punk, and shoegaze, the outfit have won fans over with their experimental, hardcore-styled EP, Blue Fairy. Defiant in sound and style, Clarion’s DIY-meets-distortion tone is tethered to their push-and-pull process, falling headfirst into a sound that uniquely comes their way. Best known for their viral breakthrough track ‘Hello Juliet’, this LA group have amassed over 2 million listeners on Spotify and are showing no signs of slowing down. Born and raised in Southwest Atlanta (Ben Hill), Kenny Mason emerged with his 2019 mega-tune ‘Hit’ which blew up and later appeared in his 2020 project Angelic Hoodrat; however, he didn’t earn this pedigree overnight. Kenny spent years tinkering with genre-bending sounds and styles that set him apart from his peers. Now several projects in, Kenny’s ascent is steady, yet his reach is meteoric. Earlier this year, Pitchfork praised his third studio album, BULLDAWG, praising his finesse: “The Atlanta artist treats rap, rock, and gospel like born bedfellows, and the intricacy of his amalgamations speaks to the depth of his grounding in all three genres”. Fusing sounds with a mega-smash style, Kenny is knocking on the door of icons, showcasing his reverie as a rapper, writer and alt head. Hailing from Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Overgrown are a four-piece band where nu-metal meets grunge. With a steady following, the collective have carved out a name for themselves with heavy hitters ‘Pieces’ and ‘Breathe’. Overgrown’s raw and melodic style has ensured a strong entrance to the alternative scene. A new band from radio DJ and former guitarist for A and The Lucky Nine, Daniel P. Carter and Tummyache’s Soren Bryce, Reclus.É are something of an enigma. Inspired by Fugazi, The Stone Roses, The Cure, and Bad Brains, the collective’s name is taken from the French anarchist geographer Élisée Reclus. No doubt their sound is sprawling, best captured across new bold releases ‘A Muted TV’ and ‘Roads’. Unfiltered and unafraid to tap into topics of technology, wealth, warped self-image, and social psyche, Reclus.É are a glimpse of something fresh. London four-piece alternative rock band Tooth – Tom Pollock, Ben Ashley, Roy Lowe, and Charlie Arnison – were united through friendship and a knack for songwriting. As Tom, Charlie and Ben met at school, the gang was completed with Roy. Earning praise from So Young Magazine and Strand Magazine and opening for rising acts Tough Cookie and Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Tooth have momentum that could take them all the way. UK-based grunge-leaning rock band VILLANELLE is the brain child of friends Gene Gallagher (vocals/guitar), Ben Taylor (guitar) and Jack Schiavo (bass). Forming in 2023, the trio are on a mission: to revive the hype of raw, swaggering authenticity with hook-driven rock and roll. Taking inspiration from iconoclasts Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr and The Who, VILLANELLE are where the lo-fi grunge and grit hit their dialled-up intensity. Taking place at the height of summer, Outbreak Fest and All Points East are coming together to present a celebration of boundary-pushing sounds grouped together by one thing: a complete refusal to be classified. With a lineup comprised of bona fide legends within their fields as well as leaders of the new school of experimentation, All Points East presents Outbreak Fest London 2026 provides a true insight into the landscape of amorphous music in all its forms and a unique festival experience unlikely to be found anywhere else. Tickets for Outbreak Fest and All Points East are available now. Outbreak Fest: Twitter | Instagram | TikTok Facebook / Twitter / Instagram | @allpointseastuk
#allpointseast | www.allpointseastfestival.com About Outbreak Fest:
Launched in 2011 as an independent, DIY one-day festival in the north of England, Outbreak Fest has rapidly expanded in its 15 years of operating to become the premier event within the UK’s thriving counterculture. Initially launching as a home to hardcore, punk and metal, the sounds emanating from the festival have broadened to suit the ever-diversifying tastes of its audience; now playing host to the finest established and emerging names in the genres of its origins, but also hip hop, indie, shoegaze, emo, electronic and so much more. 2025 saw more scope to the reach of Outbreak Fest, with a triumphant one-day event in London’s Victoria Park alongside its usual two-day weekender at Manchester’s Bowlers Exhibition Centre. This year’s three-day 15th anniversary edition in Manchester was Outbreak Fest’s biggest and best yet, with 2026’s London edition arriving in collaboration with All Points East in August. About All Points East:
All Points East has become the essential London event since its inception six years ago. The quality of artists runs very deep across the days, with established names and those on the cusp of stardom entertaining crowds. 2025 welcomed an outstanding line-up with headliners for everyone, including Cleo Sol, SAULT and Chronixx, Chase & Status, RAYE, Barry Can’t Swim and The Maccabees. Similarly, 2024 proved how eclectic All Points East can be with Kaytranada, Loyle Carner, Mitski, LCD Soundsystem and The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie. While major support acts included Nas, André 3000, as well as bands like Pixies and Jai Paul. 2023 welcomed stunning headline sets from a series of world-class artists across two weekends of shows, including Stormzy, The Strokes, Jungle, Dermot Kennedy and HAIM, plus a host of midweek activities, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup Final. 2019 saw a flurry of awards for the new festival; Q Magazine awarded All Points East ‘Festival Of The Year’, and that same year All Points East won the award for ‘Best Festival’ at the Music Week Awards. The year before, 2018’s debut established this essential new event as one of the best festivals in the UK. Winning ‘Festival Of The Year’ at the Music Week Awards and ‘Line-Up of the Year’ at the UK Festival Awards, All Points East 2018 boasted headline sets from LCD Soundsystem, The xx, Björk, Catfish & The Bottlemen, The National and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. East London’s beautiful Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets also hosts a hugely popular community-focused event each year. In The Neighbourhood, in collaboration with Tower Hamlets Council, hosts a vibrant programme of activities and entertainment, working with the local community, businesses, organisations and suppliers. Previous activities have seen something for everyone – eco-friendly creative workshops, free yoga sessions, street food, open-air movie nights, themed drag shows and film panels with Richmix. Everything is free, and 2026’s programme will be announced soon. A commitment to sustainability and accessibility goes hand in hand with the community elements and All Points East is proud to have been awarded Gold on Attitude is Everything’s Charter of Best Practice for our commitment to Deaf and disabled music fans. All Points East continues to work each year with local charity the Tower Project to give volunteer opportunities to young people with learning disabilities and autism on site at the festival, as well as providing education and performance opportunities to the students of nearby ELAM arts and music school. Committing to 100% renewable energy, working towards eliminating single-use plastic from all serve-ware and programming upcycling workshops for children during In The Neighbourhood are further examples of the commitment to the local community and the park. Local businesses are given opportunities to provide food, drink, merchandise and more so that the local community benefits as much as possible. About Tower Hamlets:
Tower Hamlets Council owns Victoria Park and in 2017, awarded All Points East Festival promoters a contract with an onus to ensure that community benefits such as supporting culture, business and employment in the borough, working with residents to reduce any negative impacts of the festivals, and generating much-needed income for public services are a key part of what is delivered.
