Wonderland

The Best New Acts Performing at All Points East 2026

From supermodel* to Tooth, Love Spells to Au/Ra: these are four of the hottest rising talents arriving at All Points East this August.

Ninajirachi and Porter Robinson Sound Timeless Together

Ninajirachi has long been a steadfast fan of Porter Robinson. Now, the feeling is mutual. They talk their new collaborative single, first meetings, and leading the next generation of talent.

Swapmeet accept the impossible

Manoeuvring early twenties regret and indecision with a newly acquired sense of self-assurance, Australian indie rock band Swapmeet hit their stride on their debut album, Mount Zero.

Wonderlist

Ariana Grande's strongest work in years, Rachel Chinouriri's upcoming sophomore teaser, and Remi Wolf's new chapter: it's Wonderlist!

Suzanne Vega

Songwriter and poet Suzanne Vega has lived many lives, written verses that will survive centuries, and achieved accolades beyond comprehension. Yet her creative pulse beats louder than ever. So, what keeps it ticking?

Oxis

Whether it’s an obsession or an insatiable drive to create, @oxis’ nine albums in three years is a feat some have called 'insane.' The ripple effect has seen her land support slots at The Strokes and Magdalena Bay for her completely singular, marine-obsessed electronica. Indeed, music’s her release, and she’s done a lot of it.

Jean Dawson

As an imaginative kid, genre-defying experimental artist Jean Dawson would lose himself in the school library. Now five albums in, with an undefined new project in the works, the 30-year-old’s discography has become a story all its own.

Starcrawler

Aesthetically speaking, Starcrawler looks as if they were like they were plucked from a faded ’70s Polaroid. Once infamous for spitting fake blood into the audience, their upcoming music is influenced by a self-styled vision of epic Hollywood Babylon – while still writing “mean songs about shitty people.”

Music

Sophia Stel

What does it mean to be a pop star? For Canadian dreamer Sophia Stel, it means anything she wants it to. As she signs to A24 Music and finishes work on her debut album, the 27-year-old remains – above all – defiantly herself.

Cortisa Star

In just three years, Cortisa Star’s gone from internet curiosity to viral rap phenomenon, picking up co-signs from Charli xcx and Doechii even making her runway debut at Miu Miu. So, where do you go after an accidental rise to fame?

August Ponthier

Across a trilogy of EPs and their debut album, “non-binary cowboy” August Ponthier has been on a crusade of musical self-interrogation.

Scout Willis

Los-Angeles based artist Scout Willis' music concerns itself with pleasure and self-discovery, accompanied by hints of psychology and myth. Her main source of inspiration? A life stationed in the overlap between artistry, style and culture.

Model/Actriz

Mischievous noise-rock band Model/Actriz quickly became known for their feral clangers and visceral live shows. But lately, it’s the symbiosis between band and crowd that’s really been on their minds. That, and another glass of French wine.

Jazzelle

After a shaved head took her from clubnight kid to a muse enlisted by the likes of fashion giants Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Rick Owens, Jazzelle kept her finger on the pulse. Her musical project SKUZLAND channels the same anarchic energy into a genre-warping sound brought up by Chicago's no-bedtime club culture. The secret to her artistry? A two-fingers-up approach to convention, permanently stuck at max volume.

Kelela

Kelela is many things. Perhaps most importantly, the Afrofuturist artist is a justice seeker. With her latest album, new avatar, she takes another sonic swing at dismantling the rigidity of genre by tackling them all.

Lykke Li

Lykke Li calls herself the master of a French exit, so the announcement that her sixth album, The Afterparty, was to be her last felt out of character. As it happens, the alt-pop icon isn’t one to be bound by conclusions.

Noah Cyrus

It’s not easy being the youngest of a musical dynasty like the Cyrus clan. But 11 years after stepping out as an artist on her own accord, Noah Cyrus has made the most of her greatest heirloom: her family.

Maxx Morando & Liily

He’s the chillest dude, the sharpest drummer, and the loyalist friend. He’s also the husband-to-be of one of pop’s biggest stars of the century. So who really is Maxx Morando? And is his band, Liily, LA’s next big rock’n’roll phenomenon?

The continued Genesis of Owusu 

Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu delivered the best work of his career with May’s satirical, scathing and stylistically probing REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE. He’s mad at the world, but not afraid to laugh at it.

Bella Kay Makes The Most of Bad Decisions

With the release of her debut album, My Reckless Abandon, singer-songwriter Bella Kay forfeits everything but herself, turning self-destruction into self-discovery – showing that even our worst habits can become the best material.

Wonderlist

Has Charli xcx done it again? Can ADÉLA be the next pop juggernaut? Has Tyla's sophomore album confirmed her as the biggest name in Afro music? There's plenty to debate in this week's Wonderlist.

Heart, Hope, and Aperol Spritz: A Return To Madrid 

Attending the Spanish capital’s juggernaut of a festival, Mad Cool, Ben Tibbits sings, celebrates and tries not to get sunburnt.

Bruno Mars might be addicted to the mic

In town for The Romantic tour, Bruno Mars showed all 90,000 Wembley Stadium attendees why the microphone will always be his best friend.

namesbliss is… where?

North-West London rap favourite namesbliss is in scintillating and introspective form on his all-new sophomore album. He talks grime, past lives, and philosophical musings.

G! Festival: A Trip To A Modern Festival Amidst Ancient Hills

Located on a beach in the Faroe Islands, G! Festival successfully unites local heritage with thrilling world-class music for a unique and euphoric summer party bathed in Nordic light.

YEONJUN Has Sides Of Himself You Haven’t Seen Yet

TOMORROW X TOGETHER's YEONJUN has successfully stepped out on his own with his dual mini-albums. He talks unity and fully finding his voice.

Gwen Bunn Has Post-Grammy Perspective

Gwen Bunn steps forward into her next creative epoch with a lightness and momentum that can only come from recently winning a Grammy.

Porches Finds Fulfilment In Imperfection

On his latest mixtape, New York musician Aaron Maine ditches the autotune and soars for a sound that is raw and unrefined.

Moshpits, Manners and Mania: A Trip to Bear Stone

Chasing a digital detox in the Croatian countryside, Ben Tibbits quests to Bear Stone Festival for a few days of psychedelia, spirituality, and lots of swimming.

Wonderlist

Gracie Abrams reigns as the Daughter From Hell, we’re in love with Steve Lacy being in love, and looks like we’ll be crying in the jungle with Nia Archives: it’s Wonderlist. Gracie Abrams – “Minibar” Meet Gracie at the “Minibar” on this let-loose track from her third studio album, Daughter From Hell. A playful detour […]
