Watch as dystopian dust takes over All Points East festival
All Points East festival-goers were left covered in a layer of dust.
East London’s Victoria Park was transformed into something out of a sci-fi film this weekend, as festival-goers found themselves battling not just long bar queues but also clouds of dust.
All Points East turned unexpectedly dystopian after weeks of scorching sunshine left the grass parched and the ground cracked.
By the time tens of thousands of dancing feet hit the fields, the turf had given up entirely, creating a dust bowl worthy of Mad Max: Festival Edition.
Revellers were spotted fashioning makeshift masks out of bandanas and glitter scarves, while others leaned into the apocalypse chic, treating the haze as part of the atmosphere.
Despite the airborne chaos, spirits remained high. Festival fashion has seen plenty of trends, but “dust-covered chic” might be 2025’s most unexpected look.
All Points East: come for the music, stay for the post-apocalyptic vibes. Watch our video above to see for yourselves.
