Across ten days, tens of thousands of people danced, sang and partied at this year's All Points East festival.

Headliners of the Luno-sponsored event (August 19-28) included Gorillaz, Nick Cave, Tame Impala, Disclosure and The National, while Field Day was headlined by The Chemical Brothers and Kraftwerk.

After two days of main stage acts, In The Neighbourhood saw the festival opened up for free community entertainment and activities.

During the main event, 6 Music was broadcasting live and hosted a packed dance floor.

As well as the big names - such as Charli XCX, Idles, FKJ, James Blake, Michael Kiwanuka, The Smile, Robert Glasper, Caroline Polachek, Fleet Foxes and Mogwai - emerging artists winning new fans included New York songwriter Cassandra Jenkins and Cincinatti's Sudan Archives.

Organisers say All Points East will return in 2023.
