Uber One presents All Points East is excited to announce the next co-headline acts for 2024: The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie will be coming to Victoria Park on Sunday 25 August, plus many more acts to be announced. This will be The Postal Service’s first appearance in London for over 10 years, so All Points East next summer will be an incredibly special celebration of two groups who defined an era and are held in the hearts of music fans across the world.
To celebrate two decades of Give Up and Transatlanticism, The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie have joined forces for an unprecedented 20th anniversary co-headline tour. Now heading back to London, this show will continue the huge anniversary celebrations. Each night, Benjamin Gibbard, the co-founder of both bands, will pull double duty performing with The Postal Service – comprised of Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, and Jenny Lewis – as well as with Death Cab for Cutie (alongside Nick Harmer, Dave Depper, Zac Rae, and Jason McGerr). The extraordinary show will see both iconic groups performing their seminal 2003 albums in full.
Death Cab for Cutie has made an enduring mark on the indie pop scene and helped to define the emo genre of the early 2000s. Gibbard’s emotive, introspective lyricism helped shape a generation, and with multiple GRAMMY and MTV nominations, he remains a consistent influence for many indie fans and bands.
Having released a remarkable 10 studio albums, the group are a staggering force with breadth on their side. Their latest album Asphalt Meadows was released last year to critical acclaim, with SPIN Magazine calling it “Their best album in years.” Gibbard can still unlock that creative sensitivity that spread across many of their earlier albums, and this is proven in this latest record.
The Postal Service will be returning to London for the first time in a decade, 10 years on from their last anniversary tour. Consisting of singer Ben Gibbard, producer Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, and backing singer Jenny Lewis, Give Up achieved platinum status in 2003, and has since garnered a cult following.
Tamborello and Gibbard first worked together in 2001 on Tamborello’s Dntel project. From there, the duo continued to collaborate via mail – where they got their name – with Tamborello sending instrumental tracks and Gibbard adding guitars, vocals and lyrics. The results were packaged into the group’s only album, Give Up on the Sub Pop label.
The project was a cornerstone of both musicians’ enduring success, and it is for this reason that its legacy lives on 20 years later. It’s an honour to have both groups for this very unique and special performance at Uber One presents All Points East next summer.
The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie join previously announced headliners Loyle Carner (17 August) and LCD Soundsystem (23 August) for Uber One presents All Points East. More acts to be announced.

The newly launched imprint debuts with single titled ‘Universe’ from celebrated Serbian artist Space Motion and JES Teaser Video | Pre-Save Link(s) EXIT, a multiple European festival champion and one of the leading brands in the global festival industry, launches Music & Talent Office – EXIT Echosystem, with the aim of providing comprehensive support and opportunities to promising and talented musicians from all around the world to develop successful global careers! As part of this platform, EXIT has also rolled out its own record label, EXIT Soundscape that now presents its debut track. The fantastic single “Universe,” recorded by one of the most successful electronic music producer with Serbian origin, Space Motion marks the EXIT Soundscape’s grand entry into the global music arena. This single also features internationally renowned artist JES, best known for her collaborations with global electronic music giants like Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, and her three times Grammy Award nominations. The “Universe” and its great collaboration has caught a lot of attention even before its release as it was already played by Like Mike at Tomorrowland and Armin van Buuren in his famous podcast “ASOT”.
“EXIT has an exceptionally high reputation in the global music industry and close relationships with leading music agencies and global stars. These relationships are not just professional, but genuine friendships. We want to utilize these relationships to open the door for the development of international careers for young musical talents that are often left under the radar” says Dušan Kovačević, Founder and Director of EXIT festival and adds “We are proud of the success Space Motion has achieved over the years in the global music scene in competition with the leading global producers. As someone who exists as a top tier festival for more than two decades, we know how challenging it is and how much devotion it requires.”
Space Motion’s success is best reflected in the fact that he reached the first place on Beatport’s Top 100 chart! On top of that, last year he ranked a high second place on Beatport’s list of top artists in one of the most popular music genres, melodic techno! Exceeded only by the duo Artbat, while leaving behind many giants like Solomun’s label Diynamic, Space Motion also achieved a high third place in the same list in the Afro-House genre.
Space Motion shares a unique bond with the EXIT festival, a relationship cultivated over many years. In light of this connection, the track’s title draws inspiration from this year’s festival theme, while the “Universe” music video” itself was shot at the colossal Dance Arena during the festival. The single is now available on all digital streaming platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Beatport, Traxsource and JunoDownload).
“I’m thrilled that my latest release is also the inaugural one for EXIT’s label, EXIT Soundscape. The fact that both the festival and I come from Novi Sad adds a special touch to this collaboration – something that seemed almost destined. The overwhelming response from fans and peers in the music industry assures me that this release will leave a long lasting impact,” said Space Motion.
The EXIT Soundscape record label has also formed a strategic partnership with global digital distributor Paradise Worldwide. This collaboration spans music distribution, digital strategy, and publishing, joining hands with numerous artists and record labels around the world.
Debuts for Carl Cox Invites & ANTS Ibiza for the October Event in collaboration with Framework
Pioneering LA promotional team, Framework, has teamed up once more with Wynn Nightlife to present the latest edition of Art of the Wild at Wynn Las Vegas’s world renowned venues XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club. This cultured underground gathering takes place from October 6 – 8, when ANTS Ibiza and Carl Cox Invites will be making their debut with Animale, Black Coffee, Rüfüs du Sol (DJ Set), Rumors and much more to come. Three day passes start at $100 and will sell out, so move quickly to secure yours.
Since 2013, Framework has become the leading purveyor of unique underground experiences in Los Angeles and beyond, offering up the greatest DJ talent in the world in unreal locations with cutting edge production. Since 2018, the brand has worked with Wynn Nightlife to bring carefully curated underground music showcases to Las Vegas in the form of the three-day art and music festival, Art of the Wild.
It is renowned for bringing together the most coveted international brands and artists, attracting thousands of guests a few times a year to the Vegas Strip and host venues XS Nightclub – a lavish, gold-accented dance club in Encore featuring an immersive dance floor and poolside patio – and Encore Beach Club – an indoor-outdoor day and night venue offering an expansive pool and luxury cabanas.
This all encompassing music and travel experience is a luxury escape that offers everything from casual to fine 5-star and Michelin recognized fine dining. There are also two Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star spas, a newly designed 18-hole championship golf course, a global roster of designer boutiques offering luxurious apparel, accessories, fine jewellery, status watches, and more with an endless list of amenities available to be booked separately.
Kobi Danan from Framework says, “Las Vegas plays host to a staggering 32 million global visitors, illuminating the city’s universal appeal. Electronic dance music, intrinsic to the Las Vegas experience, seems to have been embedded in its cultural fabric from the inception of the city. However, it was only upon the recognition of a substantial void in the market, a demand for a more niche, house-centric space, that the concept of Art of the Wild was materialised. Created in strategic alliance with the esteemed Wynn, our endeavours are primarily focused on importing a fragment of the illustrious Ibiza experience to American soil. Our aim is to transform the sonic landscape of Las Vegas, making it a melting pot of global dance culture, analogous to the vibrant, pulsating beats that echo through the White Isle of Ibiza.’
Musically, this year’s Art of the Wild offers another bold and adventurous programme with a debut for techno titan Carl Cox’s Invites concept as well as the Ibiza powerhouse party that is ANTS, an underground celebration of the freshest housed techno with the world’s biggest stars and out of this world production. Add into that sets from Grammy winning Afro house pioneer Black Coffee, a DJ set by the award-winning and highly coveted Rüfüs du Sol crew, Guy Gerber’s emotionally charged Rumors and much more to come and you have another essential edition of Art of the Wild.
Art of the Wild is an unmissable and escapist showcase that offers something unlike anything else in the heart of Las Vegas.

The Warehouse and Black Studio offer different atmospheres with their own programming but the DJ setups have been configured and optimised to provide with the very best technology. To be lost in the middle of the dance floor in either is as complete a musical experience as you could imagine.

Following massive successes with the likes of music and arts festival Labryinto in Costa Rica, Tithorea production company co-founders Shahin Mani and Sherif Koyess announce Medaina, a new 5-day, 2-location festival in the magnificent Kingdom of Jordan. The historic and visually stunning sites of Petra and Wadi Rum will be used to host the cutting-edge music and arts festival, a combination never done before.
Set among timeless landscapes and archaeological treasures, Medaina will be held for 5 days, May 22 – May 27, 2024, over the two legendary and world-renowned complexes of Petra and Wadi Rum. Featuring the founding duo’s immersive world, with intricate and mind-blowing production based on unique creative direction, the opening day in the rock-carved city of Petra on Wednesday May 22 will be followed by a special presentation on May 23. The festivities will then move to Wadi Rum on May 24 with a huge bash on the 25th in the visually breathtaking Valley of the Moon.
Medaina is based on five creative pillars: music, art, gastronomy, culture and sustainability. Expect to see an all-star lineup of international and local musical talent, incredible visuals, compelling presentations and an immersive world. Attendees from over 70 countries are expected, making the event a truly global one.
Co-Founder Shahin Mani explains: “We’ve done festivals all over the world but I’m especially excited to present Medaina at the absolutely magical sites of Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordan. The synergy that has come together to make this historic celebration happen has been thrilling and the support from the Jordanian people and government is deeply inspiring. We’ll offer our fantastically state-of-the-art creative direction to make this an immersive experience of a lifetime.”
Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and one of the most breathtaking humanmade sites on earth. Known for the Treasury (or Al-Khazneh as it’s known in Arabic), a structure carved into a rock face, there are also dozens of temples, all of them overwhelming in impact.
Wadi Rum is a stunning mixed natural and cultural site in southern Jordan. Its desert landscape has narrow gorges, natural arches, towering cliffs, and caverns. Petroglyphs, inscriptions and archaeological remains show 12,000 years of humanity. 25,000 rock carvings with 20,000 inscriptions trace the evolution of human thought and the early development of the alphabet. It is truly a treasure of the world.
The name Medaina derives from a portmanteau of Mediterranean and “ain”, which is Arabic for spring. Water was crucial in the development of Petra and its nexus as a trade route for the Mediterranean. The festival will honor this foundational civilization.
In these incredible landscapes, Medaina will present a forward-thinking musical line-up with globally renowned acts offering innovative takes on electronic music, sure to make one dance as well as get lost in the imaginative musicscapes.
