We are excited to unveil our next headliner… RAYE will make her big return to All Points East on Saturday 23 August and this time, she’s running the show.
General tickets go on sale at 10am GMT on Friday 15 November via www.allpointseast.com.
RAYE says, “London…we are headlining All Points East festival on Saturday 23 August 2025. We are going to be bringing you a beautiful show full of passion and incredible musicians to Victoria Park. I’m going to work hard to make it the most beautiful show we are capable of. Tickets available on Friday at 10am – I cannot wait to see you there!”
British singer-songwriter RAYE shines as one of the brightest stars in music today, boasting eight Top 20 UK singles, 5 Billion global Spotify streams, and a track record of writing for the industry’s biggest names. Since her debut in 2014, RAYE has undergone a remarkable journey to stardom. Her long-awaited independent debut album, My 21st Century Blues, made an immediate impact reaching No. 2 on the UK Official Albums Chart. As a welcome result of her self-fulfilling work, RAYE unknowingly created the song that became synonymous with 2023, ‘Escapism.’
This announcement follows the news last week that RAYE had been nominated in three Grammys categories – best new artist; songwriter, non-classical; engineered album, non-classical.
She recently made history by clinching an unprecedented six BRIT Awards this year – the record for the most wins of any artist in a single year – marking a groundbreaking achievement for the independent singer-songwriter at Britain’s biggest night in music. In addition to becoming the first female to ever win Songwriter of the Year, she also took home accolades, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best R&B Act. RAYE gave a career-defining performance at the ceremony, performing a medley of songs off her critically acclaimed debut album.
RAYE won the award for Best Female Act at the 2024 MOBO Awards, and picked up the prestigious Songwriter of the Year at the Ivor Novello Awards 2024 and three awards at this year’s The Global Awards, including Best Pop and Best British Act, while her collaboration with Cassö and D-Block Europe on ‘PRADA’ won Best Song.
This spring also saw RAYE make her lauded debut at Coachella, attend her first MET Gala wearing custom Fendi, be named on TIME Magazine’s “Next Generation Leaders” list, and earn a Best International Act nomination at the upcoming BET Awards 2024. Additionally, RAYE gave a breakthrough rendition of ‘Genesis’ on Saturday Night Live, which saw My 21st Century Blues skyrocket into the Top 10 of US iTunes.’Escapism.’ not only became the largest selling single by a female British artist in 2023, but it also earned RAYE her first UK No.1 and entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US where it’s since been certified Double Platinum.
Following support tours with Lewis Capaldi, Kali Uchis, and SZA, RAYE performed 130 headline shows including a rousing set at Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. Her career-defining turn at Royal Albert Hall – accompanied by a 50-person orchestra and gospel choir – received a televised BBC special for the ages with critics heralding RAYE as “the most talented artist since Adele and Amy Winehouse” (The Telegraph). This year, RAYE again performed her ‘My 21st Century Symphony’ to a sold-out crowd of 20,000 at The O2 Arena. After playing and owning the pop game, RAYE bet on herself and won.
In September, RAYE delivered a standout performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, a show that both the festival and RAYE herself found so inspiring that she decided to commemorate it with a special digital and 12″ vinyl album release.
Now she’s back at All Points East for the first time since she performed on the same billing as Erykah Badu and Jungle in 2023. We cannot wait to see what she’s got in store for her headline performance.
RAYE joins All Points East 2025 headliners Barry Can’t Swim, who tops the bill on Friday 22 August, and The Maccabees, who are headlining their first show in eight years on Sunday 24 August 2025. More All Points East headliners are to be announced!
For 2024, All Points East welcomed another round of huge headliners Kaytranada, Loyle Carner, Mitski, LCD Soundsystem,APE presents Field Day and The Postal Service & Death Cab For Cutie and carefully curated guest lineups for each day. Between the weekends, In The Neighbourhood returned for four days of activities and free entry in Victoria Park.

With over 20 artists across three months, it’s a rare chance to experience a wide range of genres, from melodic techno and progressive house to high-energy psytrance. Each set has been curated to deliver a unique vibe, making every festival day a journey through sound, rhythm, and atmosphere.
As the only event of its kind on the island, Halfmoon Festival is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, meet new friends, and dance under the stars. With our luxurious beachside venue and the immersive forest stages, we’ve created a festival experience that brings together music, nature, and incredible moments.
