Barry Can’t Swim To Headline All Points East Next August

East London’s celebrated festival All Points East returns to Victoria Park across two weekends in 2025 and the newest headliner has arrived. All Points East welcomes Scottish DJ and producer Barry Can’t Swim for his first major festival headline show on Friday 22 August 2025.

Barry Can’t Swim, AKA Joshua Mainnie, is a force in electronic music, known for blending house, afrobeat, and jazz influences into his dynamic sound. From his breakout EP Amor Fati to the 2022 hit ‘Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore’, Mainnie has built a reputation for pushing genre boundaries while maintaining an infectious, melodic approach. His highly anticipated debut (and Mercury Prize nominated) album When Will We Land? arrived in September 2023, and slotted him front and centre in the electronic music scene and beyond. It received rave reviews for the producer’s combination of vibrant, club-driven energy with intricate, carefully crafted compositions.

Accompanying him on the lineup appears a stacked lineup, with Confidence Man, Shygirl, Marlon Hoffstadt, DJ HEARTSTRING, Interplanetary Criminal, salute Presents True Vision, Chloe Caillet, Leon Vynehall, Pretty Girl, ATRIP all taking to the stage on the day.
