All Points East and Field Day 2022: Tickets, line-up and all you need to know
The only thing better than a music festival is two music festivals rolled into one, and that’s basically what is coming up in east London this August.
As was the case in 2021, All Points East has amalgamated with Field Day, combining forces to offer six days of music across two weekends (this weekend and next).
It includes the likes of Gorillaz, The Chemical Brothers, Tame Impala, The National, Disclosure and Nick Cave. And good news if you haven’t got your ticket yet, as tickets are still available for some of the days.
It’s always one of the biggest events in London’s summer calendar, and this year looks to be no different. Here’s what you need to know...
When and where are All Points East and Field Day?
Victoria Park in east London is the home of both festivals, with six days booked out, starting on August 19 and closing next weekend on August 28.
Field Day is sandwiched in between the All Points East action, taking place this Saturday.
Who’s on the line-ups?
Friday August 19
Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz will headline the opening day, with Bristol punks Idles and US hardcore-favourites Turnstile among the other top-billed acts. Elsewhere things are pretty eclectic (as is the case on other days), with rap titan Pusha T, pop experimentalist Yves Tumour and the Mercury Prize-nominated Self Esteem standing out.

This first Saturday welcomes Field Day, which is very much the dance music-focused part. Two legends of electronic music — The Chemical Brothers and Kraftwerk — are co-headliners, but there are some top-tier names throughout: Peggy Gou, Moodymann, Floating Points, Squarepusher and more.

Rock music is the presiding force here, with The National headlining. Fleet Foxes and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are the two other biggest names, but we’ll certainly be making our way to see the ever-innovative Low and art-pop artist Perfume Genius beforehand.

How to travel to Victoria Park
As always with a London festival, public transport is the way to go – organisers have confirmed there will be no parking on-site or in the immediate vicinity of Victoria Park.
Mile End on the District, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines, and Bethnal Green on the Central line are the two best options for travelling via the Tube – both are 10 to 15 minutes away on foot. On the Overground, Cambridge Heath is your best bet.
For the bus, 8, 277, 309, 339, 388, D3, D6 are the nearby routes, but there may be route diversions on the day. Check the TfL website for more information closer to the time.
There will also be a designated taxi pick-up spot, with signs at the event directing attendees to that area. And if you want to cycle, there is dedicated bike parking at Victoria Park, although you’ll need to bring your own lock.
Keep in mind that there will be travel disuptions across the Bank Holiday Weekend, due to train, Tube and bus strikes. Allow extra time for your journey.
