Spanning a career of over a decade, Foals are one of the UK’s most celebrated live acts, ever the best festival performers or arena-filling mainstays of the international touring circuit. Now, six albums in, the 2020 BRIT Award winners are bringing their energy and incredible catalogue to All Points East on August 30.
 
The Oxford rock band Foals have released an impressive six top 10 albums and it all began with Antidotes in 2008, an incredible and era defining record that set the stage for their later works: 2010’s Total Life Forever, featuring the brilliant ‘Spanish Sahara’; 2013’s Holy Fire, which included ‘Inhaler’ and ‘My Number’; and 2015’s What Went Down, which features the hit ‘Mountain At My Gates’.
 
Their two-piece project Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost arrived in 2019, with Part 1 nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize. Alongside UK No.1 album Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost ‘ Part 2, Foals announced their tour documentary, Rip Up the Road. Despite having to reschedule their 2020 European tour, Foals kept busy and released Collected Reworks, a career-spanning remix album logging alternative versions of their incredible catalogue by other artists like Hot Chip, Rufus Du Sol and Kieran Hebden (Four Tet).
 
Foals say, ‘We’re super happy to be playing at APE this summer. Victoria Park is one of our spiritual homes, so it’s going to be really special. We’re currently working hard in the studio and you never know, we might just throw in a new riff or two!
Love Foals’
 
Bombay Bicycle Club will join them on Bank Holiday Monday. Last year, the Mercury Prize nominees and Ivor Novello winners (for Best Album for So Long, See You Tomorrow) returned for the first time in four years after announcing their hiatus in 2016, to much anticipation from both fans and the industry. Their comeback track ‘Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You)’ was certainly worth waiting for, and offered an exciting glimpse into the sonic palette on their fourth Top 10 album, Everything Else Has Gone Wrong ‘ described by The Independent as ‘an album that upholds Bombay Bicycle Club’s position as one of indie music’s most inventive bands.’
 
2019 saw Bombay Bicycle Club’s seminal album I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose turn 10 years old; they took to the road and played the record in full on a UK tour to celebrate, with all shows selling out in seconds. Expect to hear anthems such as ‘Always Like This’ and newer tracks such as ‘Is It Real’ and aforementioned single ‘Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You)’ during their All Points East show.
 
Bombay Bicycle Club say, ‘We’re ecstatic to be playing All Points East this summer.  We were gutted when it was cancelled last year but this more than makes up for it. Some amazing artists on this lineup. Can’t wait to see some of you there.’
 
Canadian artist Caribou, real name Dan Snaith, is an award-winning composer and musician, having picked up the coveted Polaris Music Prize for his 2007 album Andorra. With nine other albums at his disposal, Caribou tours globally for fans all over the world. His most recent offering, 2020’s Suddenly, is an album about, ‘remaining optimistic in the face of sudden, life altering changes – moments when your world changes in an instant.’ Expect tracks from his latest pertinent record plus so much more during his Victoria Park performance.
 
Joining the All Points East 2021 bill are Australian indie-rockers and ARIA Award winners, Gang of Youths. Entering the industry back in 2013, the band’s first single ‘Evangelists’ was met with instant praise. This led to their 2015 debut album, The Positions, which peaked at no.5 in the ARIA album charts and was praised worldwide for its sincerity; lead singer Dave Le’aupepe wrote the record after suffering some personal trauma, which is hugely reflected in the lyrics. Their second album, Go Farther In Lightness, arrived in 2017 and included ‘Let Me Down Easy’ which became their first top 50 single in Australia. Anticipate big things from Sydney’s hottest indie band when they play London this August Bank Holiday.
 
During her time as the frontwoman of Moloko and throughout her solo career, Róisín Murphy made a name for herself as a purveyor of adventurous pop. Born in Dublin, Murphy moved from Ireland to Manchester when she was 12, and at 16, Murphy met producer Mark Brydon, with whom she formed the eclectic electronic pop duo Moloko. The pair’s stylish yet quirky sound scored them several hits, including ‘Sing It Back,’ ‘The Time Is Now,’ and ‘Fun for Me.’ Her latest solo album Róisín Machine came out in 2020 – a seamlessly edited, 10 years in the making collection of tracks produced in collaboration with her Sheffield pal DJ Parrot.
