Nigerian singer and producer Tems is reshaping the Nigerian music landscape, one note at a time. Her distinctive sound, a blend of elements of alternative R&B and neo-soul, has garnered her fans across the globe and over 19 million listeners on Spotify. Tems’ deep connection to music goes beyond mere words; it’s driven by a genuine passion rooted in her personal journey, environment, and a wealth of past experiences and future goals. Her creative process involves delving into her inner self to produce audio-visual expressions through songwriting. This approach led to the groundbreaking success of her debut track, ‘Mr Rebel’. Tems’ focus remains on exploring and promoting the movement that is shaping the alternative music scene in Nigeria, aiming to advance both the culture and the conversation. She’s making waves in the UK too, and her debut album, Born in the Wild, was released just last month and has been cited by NME as “soulful, spiritual... This stunning debut exemplifies West Africa's rich musical diversity via Tems' fluid approach to genre” in their 5 star review.

Her genuine love for music, smooth transitions and ability to curate an eclectic mix of different genres along with her unique sense of style have led to her making a name for herself in the UK and internationally. Plus Girls Can’t DJ will be heating up the stage for Tems and Taylah Elaine, bringing the best tunes and raw energy to match the crowd.

2019 saw a flurry of awards for the new festival; Q Magazine awarded All Points East ‘Festival Of The Year’, and that same year All Points East won the award for ‘Best Festival’ at the Music Week Awards. The year before, 2018’s debut established this essential new event as one of the best festivals in the UK. Winning ‘Festival Of The Year’ at the Music Week Awards and ‘Line-Up of the Year’ at the UK Festival Awards, All Points East 2018 boasted headline sets from LCD Soundsystem, The xx, Björk, Catfish & The Bottlemen, The National and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

East London’s beautiful Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets also hosts a hugely popular community focused event each year. In The Neighbourhood, in collaboration with Tower Hamlets Council, hosts a vibrant programme of activities and entertainment, working with the local community, businesses, organisations and suppliers. Previous activities have seen something for everyone - eco-friendly creative workshops, free yoga sessions, street food, open air movie nights, themed drag shows and film panels with Richmix.

Committing to 100% renewable energy, working towards eliminating single-use plastic from all serve-ware and programming upcycling workshops for children during In The Neighbourhood are further examples of the commitment to the local community and the park.

Local businesses are given opportunities to provide food, drink, merchandise and more so that the local community benefits as much as possible.
