All Points East confirms it'll go ahead as planned this August

All Points East have released a statement confirming the event will be going ahead as planned this August.

Taking place across the 4 days of the August Bank Holiday long weekend, the London event will be headlined by London Grammar & Jorja Smith (Friday), Jamie XX & Kano (Saturday) and Foals & Bombay Bicycle Club (Monday), with the Sunday featuring a special Field Day takeover with BICEP topping the bill.

The statement reads: "Through all the uncertainty around summer festivals, we have been busy carefully planning for every eventuality. Following Monday’s government briefing and the excellent news surrounding the festival calendar, we are beyond delighted to share that All Points East will be going ahead as planned in August 2021!

"We want to provide the very best fan experience and keep our visitors safe, therefore in line with advice and guidance from the UK and local government, you will be required to present your NHS COVID Pass to gain access to All Points East, and to help us to reduce the risk of COVID-19. More details on the pass can be found on our website and the NHS website.

"A huge thank you to everyone who has bought tickets so far. With Saturday and Sunday sold out and Friday and Monday down to the last few tickets, we are close to selling out across the entire weekend, which is truly incredible. But we want to make our celebration a little bigger, so in response to the phenomenal ticket sales, we have been granted permission to increase our capacity and release more tickets for Friday and Saturday! Look out for more 2021 event announcements in the next few weeks."
