All Points East is back and better than ever, with another full festival day reveal for 21st August in Victoria Park.
Jorja Smith and Tems top the bill — two artists who’ve shaped the sound of modern R&B in very different ways, but with the same effortless pull. Jorja’s voice carries that unmistakable depth, while Tems brings the kind of presence that turns every set into a moment.
Further down the line-up, Ayra Starr arrives fresh off a huge couple of years, delivering Afropop that’s built for big stages. Odeal’s smooth, late-night R&B continues to gather momentum, and KWN adds another rising name to a day that leans heavily into the future of the genre.

Video: Spice – Indicator
With a few weeks until Carnival everyone seems to inspired by island vibes, watch the dancehall/ afro beats flavoured video for “Indicator.” by spice in full below.
Dope is a refreshing take on the identity drama and the struggles in youth of finding ones place in a world where everyone expects you to live in a box. The story follows the characters Malcom (Shameik Moore),Diggy (Kiersey Clemons) and Jib (Tony Revolori), three Englewood high school students essentially trying to survive in their last year before getting into college….ahem Harvard. However they manage to somehow spin into the hectic world of drug kingpins, genius cyber hackers, punk bands and first kisses. The film is a collage of mini predicaments, coming of age dramas and humorous adolescent lewdness’ sweetly packaged with a dedicated soundtrack featuring the likes of Nas, A Tribe Called Quest and surprisingly Korn.
