All Points East announces FKA twigs to join line up on Saturday 23rd August

All Points East have announced that FKA twigs will headline the West Stage on Saturday 23 August, joining RAYE for her monumental All Points East headline show. 

One of the most brilliant and visionary artists of her generation, twigs’ addition makes this already incredible female-led line-up even more special. twigs joins a masterful billing that includes a London-exclusive performance from Tyla, plus JADE, Jyoty, Nao, Montell Fish, Cat Burns and many more. This follows the announcement that Doechii will no longer be able to perform at the festival. 

The announcement comes as she’s preparing to enter her next era with the release of her new album, EUSEXUA Afterglow. This follows her acclaimed third studio album EUSEXUA, which was released in January and hailed by Pitchfork as “a masterful pop-star moment for the artist.” During twigs’ recent summer European tour, she teased on stage: “New music – I am full and abundant and ready to give birth. Her name is ‘Afterglow’. And my labour shall commence next month.”
