It’s officially festival lineup announcement season. Powerful Hoopla, British Summer Time, Field day and the new LIDO festival all dropped their first name, and, after announcing tthe Maccabees as next year’s first headliners, All Points East is back with even more news.

The next headliner for the 2025 edition will be Edinburgh-born DJ-producer Barry Can’t Swim, who closed the Park Stage in Glastonbury 2024 and have just played three sold-out nights at the Brixton O2. A worthy headliner? We think so.

Known for his blend of electronic music spanning house, afrobeat, and jazz, Barry Can’t Swim rose to popularity with his 2022 track “Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore” and followed the release with his debut album. When will we land? Ready to dust off your dancing shoes next summer? Here’s everything you need to know about the event and how to get tickets.

When does Barry Can’t Swim play BST Hyde Park?

The DJ-producer will headline Friday, August 22, 2025, with a full line-up to be “announced very soon.”

This news is still to come. We will keep you informed as soon as we know.

When do tickets go on sale?

Tickets go on general sale on Tuesday November 12 at 10am. You can buy yours here.
