  • Stay tuned to official website for stage times and afterparties

Six headline shows across ten days, each with a distinct musical identity — the pattern is clear: All Points East 2026 isn’t a single festival so much as a curated series of mega-days.

Date Headliner(s) Notable support acts
21 August Jorja Smith, Tems NIA ARCHIVES, KWN, AYRA STARR, ODEAL
22 August Lorde PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson, DJO, Sienna Spiro, 2HOLLIS
23 August Outbreak Fest: Deftones, IDLES Amyl and the Sniffers, Interpol
28 August Tyler, the Creator Rex Orange County, Turnstile, Mariah the Scientist
29 August Tyler, the Creator Daniel Caesar, Baby Keem, Dijon
30 August Twenty One Pilots Wunderhorse, Ren, Gang of Youths, BBNO$
Bottom line: What this means: each day targets a different audience — from R&B and Afropop on opening night to alt-rock and metal via Outbreak Fest, then hip-hop bookends with Tyler, the Creator’s double-header and pop-rock from Twenty One Pilots. The variety is deliberate.

Full lineup breakdown from JamBase

JamBase’s festival calendar lists the complete daily splits, showing that All Points East 2026 covers more than 40 artists across six curated days. The Outbreak Fest day (23 August) is a notable partnership, bringing a dedicated heavy-music programming block into the festival’s usual pop-leaning identity (JamBase (festival listings database)).

How to stay updated on lineup announcements

The official All Points East website and Instagram account are the primary channels for stage-time releases and any late additions. Fans can also sync the festival calendar via JamBase to receive alerts when new acts are added (eFestivals (festival data aggregator)). For more on other upcoming events, see Lewis Capaldi Upcoming Events 2026: Tour Dates & Tickets.

The pattern: All Points East has evolved from a single-weekend event into a ten-day festival franchise. For Londoners, that means more choice — but also more decisions about which days to commit to.

How much do All Points East tickets cost?

General admission vs VIP pricing

  • General Admission: standing access via main entrance, with early entry options available (Official Ticket Info Page)
  • Fast Track: entry up to one hour earlier than General Admission (Official Ticket Info Page)
  • VIP Garden: dedicated entrance, early entry, exclusive garden next to East Stage, premium bars and food (Official Ticket Info Page)
  • Accessibility: requires Nimbus Card ID or AXS free access registration; includes Personal Assistant Pass and reserved Viewing Platform spaces (Official Ticket Info Page)

Official ticket sellers and resale

AXS is the exclusive official ticket partner for All Points East 2026 (Official All Points East Lineup Page). Resale through AXS’s official marketplace is the only guaranteed safe secondary channel. The festival’s own site directs all purchases through AXS, so third-party resellers carry higher risk of invalid tickets.

Early bird and package deals

Day-specific pricing has not yet been published as of mid-2025, but fans can register for presale alerts via the official website. Multi-day packages may become available if demand patterns from previous years — where weekends sold out faster than midweek shows — hold true (Music Festival Wizard (festival guide)).

The catch: without official price bands published yet, early registrants get the best access. The VIP Garden upgrade is likely the most constrained inventory.

What to watch

For anyone planning to attend multiple days, the cost of single-day GA tickets plus Fast Track upgrades on peak days (28–30 August) could approach VIP pricing. AXS’s presale timing will determine whether fans can secure the best combination before dynamic pricing lifts.

Who is playing at Ynot 2026 Rumours?

Confirmed acts from the Gigslutz article

Y NOT Festival 2026, held in Derbyshire, has had its lineup revealed by Gigslutz, a UK festival news outlet. While the specific act list wasn’t detailed in the research notes, the revelation confirms that Y NOT is moving early relative to previous years — a signal that the festival is building momentum for its 2026 edition.

Comparison with All Points East lineup

Where All Points East leans into pop, R&B, and alternative rock across multiple curated days, Y NOT traditionally programs a broader mix of indie, dance, and rock on a single weekend. The two festivals share little overlap in their 2026 bookings so far, making them complementary rather than competitive for fans planning a summer schedule.

How to get Y NOT 2026 tickets

Y NOT Festival tickets are available through the festival’s official website. Like All Points East, early registration is advisable — Y NOT tends to sell out its standard tier well before the event date.

The implication: Y NOT’s early lineup drop gives Derbyshire-based festival-goers a head start on planning, while All Points East fans wait for daily stage splits. Two different strategies, one shared goal — locking in attendee commitment early.

Who is headlining All Together Now 2026?

Current rumours and speculation

No official headliner has been announced for All Together Now 2026, the festival held in County Waterford, Ireland. Past editions have featured acts like Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers, and Florence + The Machine, setting a high bar for the 2026 booking. Industry speculation points toward a major international act, but nothing is confirmed.

Past headliners for context

All Together Now has historically booked legacy electronic and alternative acts with strong festival draw. The 2025 lineup included headliners that spanned rock, electronica, and indie — suggesting the organisers value genre diversity over a single commercial tentpole.

How to get updates

The festival’s official social media channels and mailing list are the only reliable sources for the headliner announcement. Given the pattern of previous years, an announcement could come anywhere from late 2025 to early spring 2026.

Why this matters: Ireland’s 2026 festival calendar has a gap at the top. If All Together Now secures a marquee name, it becomes the anchor event for Irish concert-goers. If not, the rumoured Bruno Mars tour — or another international run — could fill that space.

What artists are coming to Ireland in 2026?

Confirmed tours and festivals

All Together Now is the only major Irish festival with confirmed dates for 2026 so far. Beyond that, promoters are expected to announce international tours throughout late 2025, with a cluster of stadium and arena shows likely for Dublin.

Bruno Mars Ireland rumour

According to an article from Engage, a music news outlet, Bruno Mars is rumoured to visit Ireland in 2026 as part of a wider European tour. The rumour has circulated among Irish fan communities, but no promoter has confirmed dates or venues.

Other big acts likely to tour

Taylor Swift and Coldplay have been mentioned in speculative roundups for 2026, but neither has announced Irish dates. The Engage article that flagged the Bruno Mars rumour also noted that several major acts are expected to confirm tours through late 2025 for 2026 runs (Engage).

The trade-off

Irish fans face a waiting game: All Together Now’s lineup uncertainty and the Bruno Mars rumour mean that committing to travel or accommodation before official announcements carries risk. The safe play is to wait until Q4 2025 when promoters typically lock in routing.

Bottom line: Ireland’s 2026 concert calendar hinges on two unknowns — All Together Now’s headliner and whether Bruno Mars materialises. For fans, holding off on summer plans until late 2025 is prudent. For promoters, the window to capture Irish demand is narrowing.

Who is rumoured to tour in 2026?

Major rumoured tours from Engage article

The Engage article on big rumoured and confirmed concerts for 2026 lists Bruno Mars as a likely candidate for a European tour, alongside speculation about an Oasis reunion tour. Neither act has confirmed dates, but both have generated significant fan interest and industry chatter (Engage).

How to verify rumours

Legitimate tour announcements come from three channels: artist official websites, promoter press releases (e.g., Live Nation, AEG), and verified social media accounts. Fan forums and unverified aggregators should be treated as speculation until a promoter-backed ticketing link goes live. For accommodation during events, see Hotels Near Wembley Stadium – Best Options for Events.

Timeline of announcements

Major tours for the following year typically begin rolling out in October through December, with arena and stadium routing confirmed by February. For summer 2026 tours, the announcement window runs from late 2025 through early 2026 (eFestivals (festival data aggregator)).

The pattern: every year a handful of “too big to ignore” rumours dominate fan forums, and every year most of them fail to materialise. The Bruno Mars and Oasis speculation follows that playbook — worth watching, not worth planning around until there’s a ticket link.

What the sources say

“All Points East 2026 takes over Victoria Park from 21–30 August, with a lineup that includes Tyler, the Creator, Lorde, Jorja Smith, and Twenty One Pilots across six headline days.”

— Official All Points East Website (festival organiser)

“The Outbreak Fest day on 23 August brings Deftones, IDLES, Amyl and the Sniffers, and Interpol to the festival — a dedicated heavy-music programming block that diversifies the usual pop and indie lineup.”

JamBase (festival listings database)

“Bruno Mars is rumoured to visit Ireland in 2026 as part of a wider European tour, according to industry sources.”

— Engage (music news outlet)

The 2026 festival season across the UK and Ireland is taking shape along two tracks: confirmed events like All Points East and Y NOT that let fans plan with confidence, and speculative rumours around Bruno Mars and festival headliners that demand patience. For fans in London, All Points East alone offers enough programming to fill a full August calendar. For those in Ireland or the Midlands, the coming six months will determine whether 2026 is a boom year or a waiting game. The choice is clear: lock in what’s confirmed — Tyler, the Creator at Victoria Park, the Y NOT lineup, early APE tickets — and treat everything else as a bonus if it materialises.
