Zara Larsson Brings Out PinkPantheress for Surprise "Stateside" Duet at All Points East
Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson brought out PinkPantheress during her East Stage set at All Points East 2026 in London's Victoria Park on Saturday, August 22 — the pair's first live performance together of their "Stateside" remix. According to NME, the day's tickets were sold out, and Larsson's set slotted in just before headliner Lorde.
An unannounced cameo on the East Stage
Larsson's set included songs like "Midnight Sun" and "Lush Life," with PinkPantheress joining unannounced partway through. PinkPantheress already had her own separate slot at the festival that day, making this a bonus, off-schedule appearance alongside Larsson.
The "Stateside" remix the two performed comes from PinkPantheress's remix album Fancy Some More?, an extension of her Mercury Prize-nominated Fancy That. Day 2 of All Points East 2026 leaned heavily on female artists, with 2hollis, Oklou, Audrey Hobert, and Rose Gray also on the bill.
The collaboration's backstory
Larsson released her fifth studio album last summer, featuring singles "Pretty Ugly," "Midnight Sun," and "Crush." In May, she followed up with the remix album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, featuring PinkPantheress alongside Shakira, Tyla, Robyn, Madison Beer, Kehlani, and Bambii — which NME rated 4.5 stars. Larsson's 2015 track "Lush Life" has also recently returned to the charts thanks to a TikTok resurgence. Meanwhile, PinkPantheress's single "Illegal" was named NME's best song of 2025; she told the outlet its success comes down to a sample that's "quite timeless," adding that the rhythm itself is what listeners really connect with.
