Pinkpantheress brought her energetic and engaging style of electronic pop mixed with upbeat drum and bass and middle school dance nostalgia to the festival stage of London’s All Points East Festival, which took over Victoria Park. The UK’s own held a prominent slot at the festival and kept the festival-goers dancing with a set featuring hits from her rapidly expanding catalog. The set took place in what has been an otherwise hectic few months for PinkPantheress, who has kept the momentum going since the release of her latest music and an extensive run of live dates.
Her All Points East appearance on 22 August saw her join a line-up of acts like Zara Larsson and Djo, making her next show one of the last big dates of her 2026 tour PinkPantheress played a set of around an hour on the North Stage of the festival, kicking off with Stateside before firing through noises, Nice to Know You, Just for me Pain Passion and Break It Off.
There was also the aisle, Bury me and Attracted to You added to the set meaning there was a lot of newer material as well as the songs that helped to cement her as one of the most individual voices in modern pop music.
One of the most memorable moments was the live reuniting of the PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson. Larsson invited PinkPantheress up on stage for her All Points East set, for the first ever live performance of their Stateside remix together. Although the track had already put a lot of excitement around the PinkPantheress-stans, this was their first performance together of the song. The live performance marked a further chapter in the artists’ increasing creative camaraderie.
Pinkpantheress and Zara Larsson had previously appeared on the same stage at Coachella earlier this year, when Pinkpantheress performed a reimagined take on Larsson’s ‘Midnight Sun’. Their latest live outing demonstrated just how far Pinkpantheress and Larsson’s team-up has come since.
PinkPantheress is credited with transforming short, internet-supported pop songs into lively live performances. Her songwriting spans different genres, blending elements of UK garage, drum and bass, dance-pop, and R&B with melodies and samples that sound simultaneously nostalgic and far away.
This hybrid approach has established her amidst a crowded industry and on stages around the world. The ten minute set at All Points East shows the size of the crowd she has already managed to pull, with many of her some of her old hits “Just for me” and “Pain” still going down well with the crowd, alongside newer material that she has been introducing to her live set, widening her set than the short burst of tracks that proved to resonate with internet audiences.
The festival appearance also followed a hectic international run, where PinkPantheress played at the world’s biggest festivals including Outside Lands in San Francisco, Open’er Festival in Poland, Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Coachella earlier in the year. Her festival run has saw her music played in North America and Europe, demonstrating how far her career has grown since her initial viral success through social media.
