Victoria Park has shed Field Day to Brockwell Park, replacing it with a new 10-day cultural behemoth, All Points East.

From some of the organisers behind Coachella, APE is an ambitious slab of cultural scheduling with an inclusivity policy to encourage those who wouldn’t usually buy a ticket to come along and experience much of the fun anyway.

Book-ended by two huge weekends of music in May and June, the weeknights and bank holiday Monday May 28th feature free-to-attend events.
