London is one of the best cities in the world, as there’s always something to do. And this weekend is no different.
Here are all the festivals taking place in London this bank holiday weekend (August 22-25), whether it’s garage, grime or techno you’re into...
All Points East (Victoria Park)
Last weekend, All Points East 2025 got under way with massive headline performances by Chase & Status on Saturday and Cleo Sol, Sault, and Chronixx on Friday.
Next on the schedule is Edinburgh producer and DJ Barry Can't Swim, who will open an intriguing line-up of (mainly) electronic music on Friday, August 22 in Victoria Park.
Joshua Spence Mainnie will be joined in east London by artists such as the renowned pair Orbital, London's own Shygirl, and the electro-pop quintet Confidence Man, as well as Raye and the Maccabees.
FKA Twigs recently joined the Saturday line-up as Doechii withdrew from the event, where this week’s London Standard cover star Tyla is the special guest.
Tickets are still available here.
Love Motion Festival (Crystal Palace Park)
