The announcement dropped today, sparking an outpouring of excitement online as fans praised the ‘goat lineup’ and the potential for huge surprise guests.

Well, if you haven’t guessed, none other than Tyler the Creator will be headlining Victoria Park next summer.
The Grammy-winning rapper, producer and fashion icon is set to bring his trademark energy to East London.
Fans have gone wild on X following the announcement.
@Lollmao1257359 shared the buzz: ‘YO WHAT IS THIS LINEUP??? INSANE???? OH MY GOD THIS IS ALL I COULD HAVE HOPED FOR.’
Fans are already speculating about surprise guest appearances, given Tyler’s history of collaborations with several artists.
@benjidoescare said: ‘This is unreal wtf. All the potential for Tyler to bring out artists as well, like half of them have featured on an album of his.’
Known for his electrifying live shows, Tyler last performed in the UK in 2022 in a show that sold out in minutes.
With his return marking one of the most anticipated festival moments of 2026, it’s safe to say Victoria Park will be the place to be next August.

Daniel Caesar will also take the stage at All Points East 2026, bringing his smooth blend of R&B, soul, and gospel-inspired sound to Victoria Park.
The Canadian singer-songwriter is best known for hits like Best Part with H.E.R. and Get You, earning himself 36 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
His vocals make for the ultimate chill playlist. No wonder fans are going crazy that he will finally be in the UK. Speculation has arisen about potential UK tour dates now that Daniel is definitely taking a trip over here.
@Fcktheseexperts said on X: ‘This is not only a great lineup but it means all of these artists will be doing a Europe run again right?’
We hope so!
Vince Staples

Vince Staples is another major name set to light up the All Points East 2026 stage.
The Long Beach rapper is known for his sharp wit, cinematic storytelling, and genre-blending sound that pushes the boundaries of hip-hop.
Touching down all the way from Long Beach with acclaimed albums like Big Fish Theory and Ramona Park Broke My Heart, Staples has become one of rap’s most respected and innovative voices.
Fans are already hyped to see him bring his West Coast energy to Victoria Park next summer.
Ghostface Killah

Wu-Tang legend Ghostface Killah is set to bring back old-school swagger to All Points East 2026.
Known for his gift for storytelling, he remains one of rap’s most influential lyricists.
Since his 1996 debut Ironman, Ghostface has delivered a catalogue packed with street poetry and soul samples.
Expect a setlist mixing solo classics with Wu-Tang anthems like C.R.E.A.M. and Protect Ya Neck.
His performance promises nostalgia for hip-hop heads and energy for new fans.
Few artists command a stage with the same effortless charisma as Ghostface.
