Bringing the night to a close was Jorja Smith, whose homecoming-style headline set doubled as a celebration of British music and her own musical journey.

The Walsall-born songstress stacked her showing with special guests, including Odeal for ‘Coming Home,’ Kyla for ‘I Lied, You Lied,’ and Nia Archives alongside AJ Tracey for ‘Crush.’

In another full-circle moment, childhood footage of Smith singing Katy B played before the UK Dance music staple herself emerged to perform ‘Katy On a Mission.’ Loyle Carner also joined the festivities for ‘Loose Ends.’

The spectacle capped a colossal week for the singer, whose third studio album ‘What Are The Odds’ arrived on the very same day.

Elsewhere across Victoria Park, Nia Archives, Odeal, Katy B, and more ensured there was no shortage of must-see moments.

And there’s plenty more to come from All Points East 2026, with the likes of Tyler, The Creator, Mariah The Scientist, and Sexyy Red set to hit the stage across upcoming dates.
