East London’s celebrated festival All Points East will be welcoming American rock sensation TWENTY ONE PILOTS as UK exclusive headliners, marking their debut show at Victoria Park on Sunday 30 August 2026. The Grammy-winning band will be supported by the newly announced artists GANG OF YOUTHS, JESSIE MURPH, HALF ALIVE, NOAHFINNCE, HONEY REVENGE, ROYAL & THE SERPENT, MOUTH CULTURE, RED LEATHER, TEEN JESUS AND THE JEAN TEASERS, ARTIO, EMI GRACE and REECE YOUNG.
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, GANG OF YOUTHS formed in 2011. Today, the band consists of members David Le’aupepe (lead vocalist), founder Max Dunn (bass), Jung Kim (guitarist), Donnie Berzestowski (drummer) and Tom Hobden (violin). In 2015, the band’s debut album, The Positions, was brilliantly received, peaking at No. 5 on the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) chart and receiving five outstanding nominations. The band’s red-hot single, ‘Magnolia’, also charted on Triple J Hottest 100 in the same year and by 2018, it had been certified platinum.
By 2017, the Aussie band had relocated to London. Their raw second studio album, Go Father in Lightness, swept the ARIAs, winning Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album and Best Producer of the Year as well as four additional extraordinary successes at the National Live Music Awards (NLMAs). The rock band’s emotional third studio album, Angel In Realtime, was released, inspired by the loss of Le’aupepe’s stepfather, touching on genres of pop-punk to exploratory rock. As a project, its details hone in on the existential and intimate, even tying in aspects of frontman Le’aupepe‘s Polynesian heritage, sampling authentic cultural instrumentation. Today, Gang of Youths remains one of Australia’s notorious and beloved bands. Having toured with major acts Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons and Sam Fender. Now, GANG OF YOUTHS are adding TWENTY ONE PILOTS to that outstanding list.
At 21 years old, JESSIE MURPH is already a Gen Z phenomenon. Quietly emerging to the forefront as a must-listen artist, her music delicately broaches topics of addiction, mental health and social issues into her art. Growing up in a musical household in Alabama, she discovered her passion early, latching onto the outlet that felt uplifting and empowering. On her debut album, Drowning, Murph showcased her skill as a creator, releasing a dynamic and thought-provoking record. “Throughout the entirety of drowning, Jessie Murph proves again and again that she has this uncanny ability to take any genre, be it R&B, pop, folk, country or soul – and make it her own,” Prelude Press writes.
American indie-pop trio HALF ALIVE (Josh Taylor, Brett Kramer and J. Tyler Johnson) formed in 2016 in Long Beach, California. Best known for their riveting debut breakthrough album Now, Not Yet. The band whipped up a frenzy on the charts, coming in fast with the lead single ‘Still Feel’ peaking in the top 10 of Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart. However, the band’s success didn’t end with Half Alive’s first record landing at no. 1 on the US Heatseekers Albums chart, no. 15 on Billboard’s Top Alternative Albums chart and no. 7 on the Australian (ARIA) Hitseekers chart. Only a year later, Half Alive were picked out as YouTube’s Artist on the Rise and made their TV debut, performing ‘Still Feel’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Ascot-born NOAH ADAM, aka NOAHFINNCE, first started posting covers on YouTube in 2015. Over recent years, he performed songs from bands Neck Deep and My Chemical Romance. In 2016, he released a cover of Grace VanderWaal’s single ‘I Don’t Know My Name’, which went viral with over 1.6 million views. As Adam’s profile continued to grow, he released his debut single, ‘Asma Attack’, a powerful song about coming out as transgender. The single quickly picked up online as he continued to release more original music. By 2020, Adams had signed with Hopeless Records and become one of YouTube’s most visible LGBTQIA+ content creators.
Los Angeles pop-rock duo HONEY REVENGE (Devin Papadol, vocals and Donovan Lloyd, guitar) formed in 2021. Their breakout song ‘Habitual’, released in 2023, flips the script on negative energy and attitude with its vibrant dance track. In the same year, the pair released their debut album, Retrovision, collaborating with producers Josh Strock, Zach Jones and Kris Crummett. Praised by Kerrang, their punchy purple album was awarded 4 stars. “Formed in the depths of the pandemic, the duo’s speciality is sparky pop-rock with a knack for damn-near virulent hooks, nestled in the sweet spot between 2010s-inspired scene anthems and nostalgic Disney Channel rock. Pleasingly, their debut album is a sugary alcopop of a record – sweet, colourful, easily consumable, and quickly gives you the hit you want.”

Enigmatic Los Angeles-based musician ROYAL & THE SERPENT (Ryan Santiago) is all about individuality. Best known for their complex, layered alt-rock, Royal & the Serpent is a mesmerising act. Unflinching and unafraid, she made her industry mark in 2020 with her vulnerable breakout song ‘Overwhelmed’, which reached No. 24 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. Since then, she has comfortably grown her eclectic audience with 2.4 million Spotify monthly listeners. Only a year later, she featured on the track ‘Sound the Alarm’ alongside Rivers Cuomo for a song released by The Knocks, which landed in the Top 30 of the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart. League of Legends fans are also familiar with her work due to the fantastic soundtrack contribution with the immensely popular song ‘Wasteland” from Netflix’s award-winning series Arcane. Now, out with her new single ‘Favourite person’, Royal & the Serpent is funnelling their feelings towards a complicated relationship. As Ones to Watch puts it: “If there’s one thing alt-pop singer Royal & the Serpent does best, it’s deftly navigate the messy contradictions of life.”

A year later, they also took home the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist honour at the 2024 ARIA Awards. In the same year, Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers were selected by Foo Fighters to support them on a stadium tour. The Canberra-based collective also supported The Vaccines on their 2024 UK and European tour. Meanwhile, their 2025 album, GLORY, was featured across Billboard, Rolling Stone Australia, and more, proving this band is by no means done just yet.
