Death Cab For Cutie & Postal Service at All Points East 2024: set times, schedule and lineup

Can you believe it’s been over 20 years since the release of Death Cab For Cutie’s Transatlanticism and the Postal Service’s Get Up? Us neither. Ben Gibbard’s two indie noughties classics came out back in 2003 – and now, just over two decades later, he’s celebrating both records by playing them in their entirety in a headline show at All Points East.

The Victoria Park fest’s 2024 edition has already seen stacked lineups headed up by Kaytranada, Loyle Carner, Mitski and LCD Soundsystem. Death Cab For Cutie and the Postal Service headline the final day of this year’s festival – and it’s set to be a mighty day for indie throwbacks. Also playing on Sunday (August 25) are the likes of Yo La Tengo, Phoenix, Sleater-Kinney, Teenage Fanclub and Gossip.

Off to APE this Bank Holiday Sunday? Here’s all the essential information you need to know, from the full schedule and stage splits to the weather forecast.

Weather

While Friday’s APE and Saturday’s Field Day are looking like they’ll have pretty patchy weather, that isn’t the case for Sunday. The day is currently predicted to enjoy no rain and quite a bit of sunshine, with temps between 15C and 20C. As with the entire bank holiday weekend, it’ll likely be quite windy.
