All Points East has dropped the first wave of artists set to play as part of Barry Can’t Swim's headline show, taking place on the first day of the three-day East London festival in 2025.

The Scottish house DJ has helped to curate a stellar line-up of electronic acts who will join him at Victoria Park on August 22 (for his only London show next year and also his birthday).

These include electronic pop group Confidence Man (pictured) and Mercury-nominated producer Shygirl, as well as Marlon Hoffstadt, DJ Heartstring, salute, Interplanetary Criminal, Chloé Caillet, Leon Vynehall, Pretty Girl, Atrip, and more.

In a statement via Instagram, Barry Can’t Swim said: “All Points East man... Been to this festival so many times as a punter, what a madness it was to be asked to headline it. This is the first wave of artists and good pals joining me next year, curated by me with more tba.”

Meanwhile, on the second day of the festival (August 23), multi-Brit award winner and Grammy nominee RAYE is set to headline, with a corresponding line-up yet to be revealed.

On October 30, All Points East announced that The Maccabees would be reuniting for the first time in eight years to headline the festival on its third day, marking the 10th anniversary of their fourth and final album, ‘Marks To Prove It’.

The band later revealed their supporting acts would be Bombay Bicycle Club, The Cribs, Dry Cleaning, and more.
