Lorde has been revealed as one of the all-female headliners for the 2026 All Points East Festival.

The New Zealand artist, who debuted her new album *Virgin* with an unexpected performance at Glastonbury on its release day this summer, will take the stage alongside Pink Pantheress, Zara Larsson, and 2Hollis, forming a lineup comprised entirely of women.

Since its inception in 2018, the four-day festival has been held over the final two weekends of August at Victoria Park in east London, drawing in crowds numbering in the tens of thousands.

This year’s headliners included CMAT, Raye, Chase & Status, The Maccabees, and Barry Can’t Swim.

Among the other confirmed artists are Oklou, Audrey Hobert, and Rose Gray.

Esha Tewari, ML Buch, and Fabiana Palladino have also been added to the roster.

Event organizers have promised more performers will be announced shortly.

In July, Lorde, whose full name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, shared with the BBC how she felt utterly spent following her Glastonbury set.

The unexpected nature of her performance generated such excitement that the Woodsies field had to be closed off as word of her appearance spread throughout the festival grounds.
