Last weekend, LCD Soundsystem and Björk joined The xx as headliners at London’s newest festival, All Points East.

Running from Friday 25 May 2018 until Sunday 27 May 2018 at the city’s Victoria Park, the opening weekend of All Points East also welcomed performances by Lorde, Beck, Yeah Yeah Yeas, Father John Misty and many more.

Read our full review of All Points East Festival, the opening weekend, here.

The three day festival marked the start of the brand new ten day event in Tower Hamlets, which will also see standalone headline shows by The National, Catfish & The Bottlemen, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds over the following weekend, all of which will be joined by a plethora of support acts.

All Points East has also featured a four-day midweek programme packed with comedy, food, outdoor cinema and more to reflect the vibrancy of its surrounding area. The Bank Holiday Monday hosted All Points Equal, a celebration of 100 years since the first women in the UK securing the vote. Find out more about All Points Equal here.

As the trio of standalone shows approaches, welcoming Catfish & The Bottlemen on the Friday 1 June 2018, The National on Saturday 2 June 2018 and Nick Cave on Sunday 3 June 2018, we caught up with Spoon (joining the line-up ahead of The National) to find out more.

What are you most looking forward to about appearing at All Points East?

Gonna hopefully be able to dedicate a few songs to the Queen.

As a new event, what do you think makes the festival stand out?

Seems like the lineup is well curated. Wish we could stick around an extra day to see Nick Cave and Patti Smith… and the Psychedelic Furs!

What other artist on the line-up will you be aiming to catch live?

We’ll only be able to hang out for the day that we play, but we’re looking forward to seeing The War On Drugs. Haven’t had a chance to see them play since they released A Deeper Understanding. Also always love seeing Warpaint.
