Outbreak Festival adds Interpol, AFI and Salem to the 2026 line-up
The All Points East date already has Deftones headlining and IDLES, Amyl and the Sniffers and more on the line-up.
As if the line-up wasn’t already exciting enough, All Points East and Outbreak have ramped it up a notch by adding heavyweights Interpol, AFI and Salem to its Sunday, August 23rd day, promising to bring some of the best talent in the alternative scene to London for a day of mayhem and mavericks.
Freshly announced Blawan and Mannequin Pussy will also be joining the Deftones-headlined day, making this one sunny August day you’ll want to spend at Victoria Park.
Formed in 1997 in New York, Interpol have gained popularity and huge fanfare thanks to albums like Turn On The Bright Lights, which Pitchfork named its album of the year in 2002, and are now gearing up to release more music ahead of their slot at Outbreak. The band have enjoyed longevity in the music scene, receiving critical acclaim and performing across late-night shows, cementing themselves as mainstays in a cutthroat industry.
Frontrunners in the hardcore scene, AFI will be bringing a flare of punk to the festival, perfectly slotting in with previously announced acts Amyl and the Sniffers, IDLES and Basement, while bringing their own sound to London.
Offering something fresh and exciting, the band Salem will bring their unique blend of electronic and Southern rap, with their last music release being 2022’s Fall Out Of Love, as part of the Scream soundtrack.
Mannequin Pussy, whose 2024 album, I Got Heaven, put them on tastemakers’ radars, weave political statements between relentless rock-y riffs and lyrics that refuse to be boxed in and pigeon-holed.
Outbreak Fest joins an eclectic summer programme for All Points East, with headline performances from Lorde on Saturday, August 22nd, Tyler, the Creator’s two-day slot on Friday 28th and Saturday 29th, and a finale from Twenty One Pilots on Sunday 30th.
