Deftones and Interpol Lead the Charge for All Points East x Outbreak Fest 2026
A massive collaboration between All Points East and Outbreak Fest is set to transform Victoria Park into a sanctuary for boundary-pushing music in 2026. All Points East and Outbreak Fest confirmed that Sacramento legends Deftones will headline the event. They are joined by a prestigious collection of special guests, including Interpol, AFI, Salem, Mannequin Pussy, Blawan (live), and Ecca Vandal. These acts bolster an already impressive roster featuring IDLES, Amyl and The Sniffers, EsDeeKid, JPEGMAFIA, YØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, Basement, Wisp, Deafheaven, and Show Me The Body.
The headline performance by Deftones follows a landmark 2025 defined by the release of their tenth studio album, “private music”, and a global tour that saw arenas sell out worldwide. Currently earning 5-star reviews on their European and UK dates, the band arrives in London during a significant career renaissance. Their set at Victoria Park promises to be a definitive moment for fans wanting to experience one of the most powerful and diverse catalogues in the history of alternative rock.
Post-punk icons Interpol join the lineup at a pivotal moment. Since their 2002 debut, “Turn On The Bright Lights”, topped the year-end lists of Pitchfork and NME, the New York band has maintained a massive critical and commercial presence. With five subsequent records reaching high positions on the Billboard 200 and a new chapter of music imminent, their performance at Victoria Park is expected to be a major highlight of the summer.
California quartet AFI also bring their legacy of constant evolution to the stage. Known for a sonic identity that shifts unexpectedly between genres, the band is currently celebrating their twelfth album, “Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…”. Their debut at these festivals carries extra weight as their landmark record “December Underground” reaches its 20-year anniversary.
The lineup further explores the fringes of electronic and heavy music with the inclusion of Salem. As innovators of the witch house movement, the group became underground icons following the release of the “Yes I Smoke Crack” EP and their monumental 2010 debut “King Night”. They are joined by Philadelphia rock outfit Mannequin Pussy, whose 2024 album “I Got Heaven” serves as a visceral challenge to the status quo.
The electronic side of the bill is led by Blawan, a producer who has spent over a decade redefining the techno landscape. From his early success with “Fram” to the recent acclaimed release “SickElixir”, his live sets are known for their pugnacious, unhinged energy. Rounding out the announcement is Ecca Vandal, the Melbourne-based artist whose genre-bending anthems like “White Flag” and “Future Heroine” have earned her a reputation as one of the most vibrant performers in modern music.
This unique partnership between All Points East and Outbreak Fest offers a rare insight into the current landscape of amorphous and experimental music. Deftones will take the stage alongside a summer schedule that includes Lorde on Saturday, 22 August, a two-day headline run by Tyler, The Creator on Friday, 28 August and Saturday, 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots on Sunday, 30 August.
