New Support Acts Announced for Twenty One Pilots UK Festival Headline Show

All Points East is excited to announce a further wave of acts supporting UK exclusive headliners Twenty One Pilots at their debut show at Victoria Park on Sunday 30 August. The already stacked bill will include newcomers Hot Milk, Ray Bull, Witch Post, Headsend and The Meffs. The previously announced line-up includes Wunderhorse, Ren, Gang Of Youths, Bbno, Pvris, Jessie Murph, Half·alive, Nova Twins, Kid Kapichi, Noahfinnce, Honey Revenge, Dead Pony, Mouth Culture, Royal & The Serpent, Leap, Red Leather, Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers, Artio, Emi Grace, and Reece Young. Tickets are available atallpointseastfestival.com.

Hannah Mee and Jim Shaw met in Manchester in 2016. Quickly becoming a tight-knit duo, they soon after created their acclaimed band, Hot Milk. From there, the emo-rock pair have created an eclectic world within their discography, earning over 380,000 monthly listeners. Their hit song ‘Candy Coated Lie’ has become an instant favourite for its straight-talking lyrics and zingy guitars. Hot Milk’s debut album, A Call to the Void, was praised by Kerrang!, NME and Rock Sound — earning No. 40 on the UK Official Albums Chart and No. 2 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. Hot Milk’s latest record, Corporation P.O.P, was spotlighted by Kerrang! for its embrace of “thrilling new sounds in spectacular fashion”, proving the band are still at their best.

New York duo Ray Bull (Aaron Graham and Tucker Elkins) take on big feelings in their debut album, Please Stop Laughing. Disarmingly upfront, the release keeps you clued in, simmering along against their soft-touch synths and mellow crooner-like vocals. Breaking through as a distinctive, fresh band, Ray Bull are for the fans of DJO, Blondshell and Audrey Hobart.

There’s something eerie about Witch Project — and it’s not their music. Scottish musician Dylan Fraser and American artist Alaska Reid first met by chance at a Charlie XCX show. It wasn’t long before the pair discovered that they are from towns of the same name: one in Scotland, one in Montana. Praised by Vogue for their “spellbinding” indie rock, the pair have been lauded as Impressive creatives in their own right. With a name hailing from 17th-century carvings found in England, their thoughtful, provocative sound is engaging and mystic. If you need an insight into Witch Project, their interview with CLASH says it all. “If nothing else does, the art lasts,” Dylan says.

Put forward as Australia’s next breakout rock band (named by Rolling Stone Australia itself) — HEADSEND are an alt three-piece from Byron Bay. The group consists of two brothers (Kyuss and Rasmus King) and drummer Bon Soric. With only 14,000 monthly listeners, their impact has been global. If you ask us, HEADSEND are showcasing guitar music in a whole new way. The trio have opened for AC/DC, Tool, and Wunderhorse and now you can see them rile up crowds at Victoria Park.

British rockers (vocalist Lily Hopkins and drummer Lewis Berry) know how to make a scene. For fans of Lambrini Girls and Amyl and the Sniffers, The Meffs are not afraid to call out social issues with killer songs like ‘Broken Britain, Broken Brains’ or ‘Clowns’, which focus on the UK’s current political state. If you’re looking for noisemakers that are ready to take a shot at the establishment while reeling off banging tunes, well, The Meffs are the band for you.

GRAMMY Award-winning band Twenty One Pilots have shifted music and culture as an incomparable creative force and with an ever-evolving vision. The Columbus, OH duo—Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun— have tallied over 34 billion global streams and counting, sold north of four million tickets worldwide, notched dozens of multi-Platinum certifications, and even claimed a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

On 12 September, Twenty One Pilots unveiled their eighth studio album, Breach, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 200k album equivalents and earned the biggest rock debut of the decade and the biggest week in vinyl sales for a rock record since tracking began in 1991. This was the band’s first #1 since 2015’s 6x-Platinum breakout LP, Blurryface, which was the first album to notch an RIAA Gold or Platinum certification for every single song, earning the same distinction shortly after for 2013’s Vessel. They also remain one of only 18 artists to earn multiple RIAA Diamond certifications with hits ‘Stressed Out’ and ‘Heathens’. The band continued to dominate the charts with 2018’s Platinum-certified Trench, which featured GRAMMY-nominated track ‘Jumpsuit’, followed by 2021’s Scaled and Icy and 2024’s Clancy, which both marked the biggest rock debuts of their release years. This fall, Twenty One Pilots concluded THE CLANCY TOUR: BREACH 2025, which saw them hit stadiums and amphitheatres across North America. The band recently paid tribute to The White Stripes with a cover of ‘Seven Nation Army’ at the 2000s icons’ induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which was lauded as a highlight of the night.

The show will include an All Points East exclusive Fan Premier Exhibit on the festival grounds featuring Twenty One Pilots memorabilia, including new Breach items from the band's personal collection, interactive photo opps, and more. Plus, step into the immersive Banditø Camp — a community space within the festival grounds fans can take photos, explore the camp’s artefacts, and connect with fellow Banditos. The band is also bringing their iconic headline Breach tour B-stage experience to the festival.

Twenty One Pilots join fellow All Points East 2026 headliners Jorja Smith and Tems on Friday 21 August, Lorde on Saturday 22 August, Deftones at Outbreak Fest on Sunday 23 August and Tyler, The Creator’s two-day headline slot at Victoria Park on Friday 28 August and Saturday 29 August.
