Tyler, The Creator, Turnstile and Clipse Conquer London’s All Points East: 7 Best Moments

The show was the first of two headline performances at London's All Points East festival

Tyler, The Creator kicked off his headline set at London's All Points East with a show of gratitude, expressing relief that former Prime Minister Theresa May is no longer in power. The history between the two dates back to 2015, when May barred Tyler from the U.K. due to alleged threats on public order. However, ten years have passed, and Tyler has matured and evolved musically.

His career has been a constant reinvention, spanning from the controversial early days in Odd Future to the experimental sounds of 2025's Don't Tap the Glass. The opening night of his two-day headlining set at Victoria Park on Friday, Aug. 28, showcased this diversity, featuring a lineup that reflected both Tyler's sound and his fans' tastes.

The stage was set with a mix of rap acts, including Vince Staples, Clipse, Sexyy Red, BB Trickz, and fakemink, as well as melodic artists like Rex Orange County, Mariah the Scientist, Love Spells, and Yebba. Hardcore and rock acts such as Turnstile, Ecca Vandal, Shady Nasty, and Jean Dawson rounded out the bill, mirroring Tyler's own ability to navigate between hard and melodic sounds. As Tyler took the stage for his first day at All Points East, these seven moments stood out.
