The Maccabees have announced more support acts for their reunion show at All Points East 2025.

The band confirmed last October that they’d be returning to the stage for the first time in eight years, when they top the bill at Victoria Park in east London on August 24. It’ll coincide with the 10th anniversary of their fourth and final album, ‘Marks To Prove It’.

Shortly afterwards, the group added a wave of other names to the line-up: Bombay Bicycle ClubThe CribsDry CleaningNilüfer YanyaThe Murder Capital, Divorce and Prima Queen.

Today (May 29), organisers have shared another batch of artists who’ll be performing throughout the day. These are CMAT, Black Country, New Road, Everything Everything, Sorry, Katy J Pearson, Youth Lagoon, TTSSFU, Max Baby and The Juice.

According to a press release, “many more” acts are still set to be announced for the show. Find any remaining tickets here, and see the official line-up poster below.

The addition of CMAT comes as the Irish singer-songwriter prepares to release her third album, ‘Euro-Country’, on August 29. Everything Everything, meanwhile, recently announced a 2025 UK and Ireland tour to mark the 10th anniversary of their third LP, ‘Get To Heaven’. Last month, Black Country, New Road released their third record ‘Forever Howlong’.

Since confirming their All Points East 2025 concert, The Maccabees have announced a brief run of UK and Ireland dates as well as some European gigs. They’ll also play an intimate London charity show in aid of the MS Society next month, before headlining The Park Stage at Glastonbury 2025.

As preparations got underway for their big reunion, The Maccabees invited NME into their rehearsal space, where guitarist Felix White told us it felt as if “no time had passed” since they last played together in 2017.

“It’s so strange. In the chunk [of time] from the last show, you could conceive of The Maccabees as a different existence, but as soon as we started playing, it was as if we hadn’t stopped,” he said.

The band also responded to rumours that new music could on the horizon, with White telling NME: “The plan is to do [All Points East] and see how much we love it.” Drummer Sam Doyle jokingly added: “We might hate each other by August.”

Frontman Orlando Weeks explained: “Everything we built together as people is very connected to being in a band. We’ve been able to achieve relationships outside of that, but there’s a totally other level of comfort in each other’s company when this is the reason we’re hanging out.

“The particularness of this type of companionship that doesn’t exist outside of this… It feels rarefied.”

White, who also performs in 86TVs alongside brother Hugo, said in a press release previously: “In the intervening years we’ve been to All Points East a lot, separately. It’s become a bit of a landmark festival for us, always checking who’s on the line-up.

“I’d go and have a great time throughout the day, but there was always this pinch of regret watching headliners that we could’ve done it ourselves one day too. I thought that moment had passed, and it was something I was prepared to come to terms with that I was always going to miss.

“I think we’re all kind of shocked and excited that we get to do it together again.”
