Bombay Bicycle Club, The Cribs, Dry Cleaning & more to join The Maccabees’ 2025 All Points East show

We’re still barely over the incredible news that The Maccabees are back(abees) and now they’ve gone and announced an all-star indie cast as support for their All Points East headline show next summer.

For what we’re officially dubbing Indie Christmas™, the London quintet will be joined by a handful of their mid-Noughties peers in Bombay Bicycle Club and The Cribs, as well as a slew of other ace names including Dry Cleaning, Nilüfer Yanya, The Murder Capital, Divorce and Prima Queen. What an absolute treat!

They’re all set to take to the stage in East London’s Victoria Park on Sunday 24th August 2025, for what will be The Maccabees’ first live show since bidding farewell with three sold-out nights at Alexandra Palace in 2017. 

Speaking about the huge news, Felix has commented that: “In the intervening years we’ve been to All Points East a lot, separately. It’s become a bit of a landmark festival for us, always checking who’s on the line-up. I’d go and have a great time throughout the day, but there was always this pinch of regret watching headliners that we could’ve done it ourselves one day too. I thought that moment had passed, and it was something I was prepared to come to terms with that I was always going to miss. I think we’re all kind of shocked and excited that we get to do it together again.”

The pre-sale for tickets to the band’s headline day at All Points East began earlier today, and remaining tickets will then go on general sale at 10am on Thursday 31st October here.
