The festival has become an annual fixture in Victoria Park since the first event in 2018 - although it was cancelled in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic - and includes four days of free entry and community activities known as 'In the Neighbourhood'.
Next year though, All Points East 2022 will run across two weekends - on Friday, August 19 and Saturday, August 20 and Thursday, August 25 to Sunday, August 28 - “because just the one weekend wasn’t quite enough", according to its organisers.

Organiser Jim King, CEO of the European Festivals division at AEG Presents said: “Last summer showed how much we missed All Points East, so it’s hugely exciting to not just launch 2022, but to be able to announce all six incredible headliners, and more artists across the two weekends, in one go.
"All six event days and the midweek In The Neighbourhood community programme make 2022 the biggest All Points East to date.”
Mayor of Tower Hamlets, John Biggs said: “It was great to see the return of All Points East and In the Neighbourhood to our award-winning Victoria Park this summer.
