Nia Archives, Wesley Joseph, Elmiene and more to support Jorja Smith and Tems at All Points East 2026

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
