All Points East 2024 did not come to play with its Friday instalment delivering a stacked lineup of unmissable artists, immaculate London summer vibes and huge crowds chomping at the bit to descend on East London.
As the sun beat down on Victoria Park, providing a stunning backdrop for Tems’ sunset set, that slipped seamlessly into a balmy night of dancing to Kaytranada impeccable, dynamic set on the main stage, we knew it was going to be one for the history books.
Arguably the most highly anticipated lineup of the series, Friday 16th August, now lovingly coined The-Kaytranada-Day amongst festival goers highlighted the best of new music from Hip Hop, Dance and R&B artists. From Channel Tres, Jyoty and TSHA to Victoria Monet, Thundercat and of course Kaytranada, each artist took the opportunity to treat fans to a deep dive into a their back catalogue, teasing us with future bangers and explorations of subgenres and culture that have shaped them, all while being united in their undeniable craft, creativity and passion to give London the best APE experience, to the delight of current and new fans alike.

Hoezine were on the ground to experience everything APE had to offer and to get in and amongst the action. We caught up with some of the gorgeous festival goers to hear about their favourite moments:
Rianne Palmer - "Kaytranda Day is a once-in-a-lifetime vibe—epic lineup, unforgettable energy. Experiencing Tems, Victoria Monét, and Kaytranda dancing in the crowd was next-level magic. Nothing beats London in the Summer! Pure, serious vibes all around."
Elise Palmer - ‘All Points East was a memorable experience with amazing performances and great vibes. All the performances were incredible but my standouts were definitely Victoria Monet and Kaytranada! Can’t wait for to see what’s in store for next year!’

Oriana Pundt - ‘All Points East this year really delivered with the line up. Kaytranada has been in my top 5 artist on Spotify for years so I had!! to go. The vibes were immaculate, sunshine and good crowd. I saw some amazing artists like Tems and Victoria Monet with incredible performances but to my surprise my fave act of the night was Durand Bernarr - what a QUEEN. Probably the best vocals and stage presence I’ve seen in years. He’s going to be huge. Can’t wait for next year, the line ups just keep getting better and better.’

Jass Mensah - ‘You know when they say your 20s is for living and making memories? All Points East’s was one of those experiences!! Aside from the cross country race from west stage after seeing Tems to catch Kaytranada set. Taking in Victoria Monet as the incredible performer she is! A real time was had! This was the first time I’d seen Channel Tres Live! I couldn’t keep my eyes off every performance from the east stage! Would I do this again? For sure l! APE will 100% see me next year!! Next time I’m bringing my running shoes though!’

Bethan Dadson - ‘All Points East was such a magical experience for me. The lineup was insane - so many of my favourite artists performing on the same day! And the finale being Kaytranada was really a perfect choice. His music gives me such a euphoric feeling that I genuinely cannot explain. I’ve now seen him 4 times and this was definitely my favourite. I can’t wait for next year!’
We can all agree that to see your favourite artists live during summer in the city with your besties is an unbeatable feeling, and we’re so honoured to have been a part of this iconic day. Roll on 2025!
