Barry Can’t Swim adds Orbital, Avalon Emerson, more to All Points East 2025 line-up

All Points East has announced the first wave of acts confirmed to join Barry Can’t Swim at his headline show this summer.

The Scottish artist will headline the Victoria Park festival on Friday 22nd August, marking his only London show of the year. Joining him at the event will be newly announced artists Orbital, Avalon Emerson, The Blessed Madonna, Prospa, Myd, Saint Ludo, Sam Alfred and WizTheMC.

“Skwod! Added some new fresh faces to my All Points East show, gonna be biblical,” Barry Can’t Swim shared in an Instagram post, alongside a video of him riding a carousel.

They join previously announced artists including Confidence Man, SHYGIRL, Marlon Hoffstadt, DJ HEARTSTRING, Interplanetary Criminal, Salute (presents True Vision), Leon Vynehall, Chloe Caillet, Pretty Girl (Live) and more. Check out the current line-up below, with more artists TBC.

Earlier this summer, Barry Can’t Swim announced his second album, ‘Loner’. Set for release on Ninja Tune on Friday 11th July, the 12-track record is said to be informed by the Scotsman’s dizzying rise in recent years, as he attempts to stay grounded amid ongoing critical and commercial accolades. O’Flynn and Séamus are listed as featured artists, while one cut samples Kali Uchis.

In 2025, All Points East continues its work with local charity Tower Project, offering 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 & Music school.

Other acts set to headline the festival this year include Cleo Sol alongside SAULT, Chase & Status, RAYE and The Maccabees, who will reunite especially for the show.

Tickets are on sale from www.allpointseastfestival.com.

‘Loner’ follows Barry Can’t Swim’s 2023 debut LP, ‘When Will We Land?’, which earned him nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, Scottish Album Of The Year, and a BRIT award.
