Tyler, The Creator Calls Out ‘Dead’ Crowd at All Points East
During his historic two-night headline residency at London’s Victoria Park, Tyler, The Creator offered a candid assessment of his festival audiences. While celebrating his milestone as the first artist to headline All Points East on two consecutive nights, the rapper did not shy away from critiquing the atmosphere of the opening show.

Early in his Saturday set, just before performing ‘Darling, I’, Tyler addressed the crowd directly to compare the energy levels of the two evenings. “Last night, they were fucking dead, bro,” he remarked. “So thank y’all right now for lifting my spirits up, I needed this shit.”

The second night proved to be a high-energy affair, bolstered by surprise appearances from notable collaborators. A$AP Rocky joined Tyler on stage for their 2017 collaboration ‘Who Dat Boy’, a performance that served as a prelude to Rocky’s own headline show at The O2. Additionally, Rex Orange County returned to the stage to perform ‘Boredom’, repeating a guest spot he had also held on the festival’s opening night.
The Saturday setlist showcased the breadth of Tyler’s discography, featuring tracks such as ‘St. Chroma’, ‘Noid’, ‘Sticky’, and ‘NEW MAGIC WAND’, before closing with ‘See You Again’. The festival’s two-day run featured a diverse supporting lineup, including artists like Baby Keem, Denzel Curry, and Danny Brown, cementing the event as a significant moment in the 2026 summer concert calendar.
