Sault, Cleo Sol and Chronixx open All Points East with mammoth five-hour set
Sol dipped in and out of the set while Chronixx, whose real name is Jamar McNaughton, performed a full set with his band.
Speaking to the crowd during the performance, Sol, whose real name is Cleopatra Nikolic, said: 'All Points East, come on, we're going to have a good time tonight.
'You look so good, come on, energy.'
The performance took place on two stages, with the main stage decked out like Star Wars' Tatooine, while a second platform was designed like a sci-fi pyramid.
The first 30 minutes was light on music as a story with biblical and sci-fi influence was acted out, before Sault opened with Glory from the 11 album.
The story return at numerous points in the evening, with Sault performing some of their best known tracks including Wildfires and I Just Want To Dance, which began after breakdancers performed.
US rapper Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, joined them for Stop Dem from Black Is, before re-emerging to perform later in the evening.
Representatives from a number of local charities were later brought out to speak about their causes.
The evening finished with a solo performance from Sol, who debuted new music.
It was only the second time the band has performed a conventional gig.
Their first concert was at London's Drumsheds venue in 2023, when the band performed on a number of different stages, and fans walked through an immersive experience before the show began.
The All Points East performance also comes after a pop-up in Soho, central London, at which the group performed to a small number of fans for a few minutes at a time, with reportedly five-hour queues stretching around the block to get in last month.
Since beginning their career in 2019, the band have released 12 albums and two EPs, all produced by Adele and Little Simz producer Inflo, real name Dean Cover, who is the husband of Sol and is thought to be the leader of Sault.
Sol's solo career has seen her release four studio albums and feature on the Little Simz tracks Selfish and Woman. The Ladbroke Grove-born singer also rarely performs live.
All Points East will continue with performances from the likes of Chase And Status on Saturday, Barry Can't Swim on August 22, and Raye, who will be joined by Grammy Award-winning rapper Doechii, on August 23.

Boots bring back popular beauty advent calendar with No7, Liz Earle and more
The Macmillan 24 Doors Of Joy Beauty Advent Calendar is back for 2025, and it's already proving popular with shoppers. Here's everything you need to know about the calendar It may feel criminal to talk about Christmas after this week's heatwave, however, several retailers have begun launching their 2025 Christmas countdowns, and beauty fans know the best ones sell out quickly. Boots has officially joined the 2025 festive countdown with the launch of its Macmillan 24 Doors Of Joy Beauty Advent Calendar, with shoppers already adding it to their baskets. Year after year, the charity-backed advent calendar earns a loyal following thanks to its variety of products, brands and feel-good factor. Priced at £90, we've estimated the value of the calendar to be over £140 - though the exact contents can't be calculated due to some being travel-sized. Inside shoppers can find 24 beauty treats from beloved brands like Liz Earle, No7, Soap and Glory and Champneys. Even better, £2 from every sale goes directly to Macmillan Cancer Support, helping provide vital information and comfort to those living with cancer. 'I'm trying to cut down my alcohol intake and this 99p low-calorie drink converted me' Harrods beauty advent calendar returns after fragrance one sold out in 48 hours Starring a mix of cult-classics and pampering must-haves, it's not hard to see why this calendar sells out each year. Some of the most valuable products come from the No7 collection, including travel-friendly versions of their Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Day and Night Creams, as well as a full sized mascara and brow pencil. No7 does usually release their own beauty advent calendars, but details are yet to be released on that front. However, both Soap & Glory and Liz Earle calendars are available to buy now. The Liz Earle's 24 Days of Liz Earle Advent Calendar gives customers a chance to sample the brand's various collections, from Superskin to the brand's cult-classic cleansers to luxurious creams and aromatic body care, it's a skincare lover's dream. Priced at £175, it's estimated to be worth £505.10, saving shoppers £330.10 on the contents. Packed with 24 days of beauty and bath-time indulgence, the Soap and Glory calendar retails at £48, with a claimed value of £92. Inside, shoppers can expect a mix of signature favourites, pampering minis, and seasonal exclusives spanning bodycare, skincare and fragrance. Here's everything that shoppers can find inside the Macmillan beauty calendar: Boots Ingredients Caffeine Eye Cream 15ml Botanics All Bright Vitamin C Glow Sheet Mask 23g Champneys Spa Rituals Foot Socks- 1 pair Liz Earle Pure Cotton Cloth Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 30ml Champneys Slumber Hand Cream 50ml Soap & Glory Original Pink Fragrance Roller Ball 10ml Soap & Glory Magnificoco™ Body Butter 50ml Liz Earle Instant Boost™ Skin Tonic 50ml No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Serum 5ml No7 Pro Artist 12 Hour Artist Pencil Brown 12g Soap & Glory Original Pink Fragrance Spritz Body Mist 50ml Soap & Glory Magnificoco Body Butter 50ml No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Night Cream 25ml Soap & Glory Pout About It Hydrogel Lip Mask 25g Botanics All Bright Smoothing Face Scrub With Natural AHAs 75ml No7 Intense Volume Mascara 7ml Boots Ingredients Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser 30ml No7 Protect & Perfect Lip Care 10ml Champneys Slumber Epsom Bath Salts 100g Boots Eyelash Curler Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion 50ml - No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Day Cream SPF 15 + 5*UVA It's worth noting that while this calendar offers a great variety of products that are ideal for taking on holiday or giving as stocking fillers, it doesn't boast the same savings as some other calendars. The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar often sells out quickly, and for 2025 boasts a value of more than £1,100, featuring 20 full sized products and 16 of this year's hottest launches. It typically retails for £250. However, for those looking to add a little bit of luxury to their festive season, the Macmillan calendar is still a solid choice and offers a gorgeous selection of pamper products. It's available at
