Nia Archives to support Jorja Smith and Tems at All Points East 2026
Wesley Joseph, Elmine, Sekou and more are also booked to play the pair’s co-headline day.
As spring gets in full swing and festival season looms ever closer, All Points East have now confirmed a new wave of support acts joining the bill for Jorja Smith and Tems’ turn co-headlining the series of day fests on Friday 21st August.
Returning to APE in mighty fashion, trailblazer and self-confessed ‘Emotional Junglist’ Nia Archives will be treating crowds to a firecracker set sure to get people dancing - and it’ll also double as a chance for her to show off material from her upcoming second album (due in July), too.
Elsewhere, soul sensation Elmiene will be delivering a special one-off performance with the Jason White-conducted Sunday Service Choir, while West Midlands favourite Wesley Joseph will bring cuts from his long-awaited debut album ‘Forever Ends Someday’ to life in spectacular style.
Also new on the bill are Sekou, Bellah, Westside Gunn, Dustin Conrad and more, who join previously-announced names kwn, Ayra Starr and Odeal as the stellar support cast for certified R&B queens Jorja and Tems. Tickets for their joint APE headline are on sale now; find out more and nab yours at allpointseastfestival.com.
