Nia Archives Headlines Official All Points East 2026 Afterparty
Nia Archives, the Mercury Prize-nominated jungle producer, will headline the official afterparty for London's All Points East festival. The single-night, small-venue show — called "Amex Afters" and produced in partnership with American Express — takes place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Colour Factory in Hackney Wick, immediately following Tyler, The Creator's closing set at Victoria Park.

Nia Archives has said the mood at this show will differ from her earlier All Points East set the same week, leaning into late-night party energy. She's promised a set built heavily around material from her own label, UP YA ARCHIVES, plus unreleased tracks and a mix of jungle and techno. She's also noted a history of memorable moments at the festival.

After Emotional Junglist
Nia Archives released her new album Emotional Junglist last month, earning a four-and-a-half-star review from NME for deliberately pushing past traditional jungle conventions. The Bradford-born producer has built her career on jungle since her debut and continues to release music through her own label, UP YA ARCHIVES.
