This year’s edition of the festival saw New York City indie veterans The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Walkmen and more take over.
It marked the second weekend of All Points East 2023, following Stormzy’s ‘This Is What We Mean’ day.
In a four-star review of Stormzy‘s performance at All Points East 2023, NME wrote that the “rapper’s rainy return offers change of pace”. It added: “A performance in two acts risks alienating more casual fans but ultimately pays off for Stormzy’s only UK show of the year.”
