You may have seen the news that Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy has been announced as the final headliner at this year\u2019s All Points East festival.<\/p>\n

The summertime festival, which takes place in Victoria Park in London, has a stellar line-up including Stormzy\u2019s This Is What We Mean Day, Field Day, The Strokes\u2019 headlining concert, Haim\u2019s headlining concert, and Jungle\u2019s headlining concert with very special guest Erykah Badu.<\/p>\n

Kennedy will also perform at the Victoria Park bash on Sunday 27th August, and he\u2019s bringing along with him some exciting acts: SG Lewis, Olivia Dean, James Vincent McMorrow, Nick Mulvey, Aurora, plus more. It\u2019s not the first time the 31-year-old has graced the All Points East stage, however\u2026<\/p>\n

Speaking about the upcoming music festival, Kennedy said: \u201cI remember playing the main stage at All Points East back in 2019 just before my debut album came out. It\u2019s surreal to me how much has happened over the past four years since then and I\u2019m so grateful to everyone who\u2019s supported me on this journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis headline show is going to be on another level and I\u2019m honoured to be headlining this year alongside legendary artists The Strokes, HAIM, Stormzy, and Jungle. See you in Victoria Park!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kennedy is currently in the middle of his UK tour, which kicked off in Glasgow at the end of last month, and luckily for you non-ticket holders, there are still some available to purchase (but more on that later). The Giants singer\u2019s most recent track is Mike (Desert Island Duvet) with Fred Again and The Streets\u2019 lead, Mike Skinner.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of the County Dublin singer, you\u2019ll know that Kennedy was first inspired to pick up a guitar at the age of 10, began writing his own songs as a teenager, then started to play in bars he was actually too young to drink in.<\/p>\n

It was the 2016 single After Rain which propelled Kennedy towards a mainstream audience as it quickly gained millions of streams and subsequent fans. This second single paved the way for the four-track EP Doves & Ravens, and two studio albums soon followed: Without Fear and Sonder.<\/p>\n

Kennedy is no stranger to capturing and holding the attention of large audiences at shows: in 2018 and 2019, he toured the United States, Australia and Europe to sold-out audiences; Kennedy performed at Bonnaroo Music Festival, Lollapalooza, South by Southwest Festival, Austin City Limits Music Festival, and Coachella in the late 2010s, too.<\/p>\n
