New Events Programme for Victoria Park

Major Events in Victoria Park are changing in 2018.

Following a competitive tender process, Tower Hamlets Council has signed international promotor AEG to put on major events and community events at Victoria Park for the next five years. The deal will see AEG put on the All Points East festival this year between 25 May and 3 June, which will replace the Lovebox and Field Day festivals.

All Points East 

Presented by renowned promoter Goldenvoice / AEG Presents, All Points East is a brand new event taking place from 25 May to 3 June 2018 in East London’s Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets.

Kicking off on the May bank holiday will be a three day music festival with a thrillingly diverse line up of some of the coolest names in music. Following the opening weekend, a four day free to access community focused midweek event will deliver an entertainment programme of comedy, food, outdoor cinema and more. All Points East culminates the following weekend with three standalone headline shows with some of the most exciting acts around.

The All Points East website at www.allpointseastfestival.com  has more information about the range of activity taking place at the event and will be kept up to date with the latest news.

Weekday performance content opportunities:
