On August 29, in a historic first, Tyler, The Creator headlined a second consecutive night of All Points East 2026. In a huge surprise, he was joined onstage by two star guests: A$AP Rocky and Rex Orange County. Two major names and two stories that say everything about Tyler’s world.
Tyler, The Creator is, in many ways, the true bridge between these two artists, whose styles couldn’t seem further apart, yet who have always found a natural home within his own creative universe.
On one side, A$AP Rocky, an icon of American rap — but far more than just a collaborator. He’s one of Tyler’s closest friends, and that chemistry comes through as much in their music as it does onstage, on tracks like “Who Dat Boy” and “Potato Salad.”
On the other hand, Rex Orange County embodies the melodic, intimate warmth of bedroom pop, laced with jazz and soul influences — “Loving Is Easy, “Best Friend.” It was Tyler who first pushed him onto the international stage back in 2017, bringing him in on Flower Boy, most notably on “Boredom,” a track that has since become the signature of their collaboration.
Two worlds, one enduring friendship: that’s the story Tyler brought back to life in London on August 29, during his second night headlining All Points East. Rex Orange County joined him for an emotional rendition of “Boredom,” before A$AP Rocky followed for a high-energy “Who Dat Boy.”
Tyler, The Creator is known for his boundless energy and fiery stage production, pyrotechnics included. He opened the set with fan favorite “Big Poe,” followed by “St. Chroma,” before moving into two of his biggest hits, “Are We Still Friends?” and “Sugar On My Tongue.” The set closed out with three defining songs spanning three different albums: “Like Him” (Chromakopia), “New Magic Wand” (Igor), and “See You Again” (Flower Boy).
Elsewhere across the East, North, and West Stages, Daniel Caesar delivered a widely praised melodic set backed by a choir, including “Rain Down” and a cover of a Jimmy Cliff classic. Baby Keem, performing on a casino-themed stage set, leaned into his album Ca$ino, the follow-up to The Melodic Blue. Mustard brought his signature “ratchet music” energy to the North Stage, while Dijon had the East Stage singing along to tracks like “Yamaha” and “Talk Down.”
Faye Webster once again proved herself one of the sharpest songwriters around with tracks like “Lego Ring,” “Jonny,” and “Kingston.” Jim Legxacy packed out a tent on the North Stage, visibly moved to be playing his very first-ever festival. Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats drew a massive crowd on the West Stage.
Earlier in the day, festival-goers caught sets from Danny Brown, Khamari, and Quadeca, along with London’s own Natanya — already backed by Tyler himself — and rising American star Samara Cyn.
