More about: All Points East

All Points East is the latest festival to cancel its 2020 edition due to the global Coronavirus pandemic.

The multi-weekend East London celebration announced its decision with a colourful graphic posted to its socials this morning. 

"The decision was made following a constant review of Government actions and statements," the statement read.

"Alongside the now enforced period of social isolation, the Government has stated that emergency services will not be able to support major events...we are fortunate to work alongside the emergency services at our events and want to take this opportunity to express our company's heartfelt gratitude and admiration for all their professionalism and dedication in tackling this crisis.

"You will be contacted directly by the ticket agent you purchased from very soon with full information on the ticket refund process." 

The statement finished with a promise that "we will be back with plans for 2021 shortly."

All Points East was due to take place across several weekends in May with appearances from Kraftwerk, Massive Attack, Tame Impala and more.
