As All Points East’s broadcast partner, the network will also play out performance highlights from the 6 Music Stage on air.

Then on Friday 26 August, AFRODEUTSCHE and Tom Ravenscroft will present a special show from the festival (7pm-10pm), featuring sets from their curated line-ups.
On Saturday 27 August, Jamz Supernova On 6 (1pm-3pm) will be live from Victoria Park. In addition, Mary Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft and Don Letts will revisit some of the best moments from the line-ups they curated in their usual 6 Music shows between Monday 22 August and Sunday 4 September.
All shows will be available to listen to on BBC Sounds after broadcast.
Mary Anne says: “We broke new ground with the pioneering All Queens stage at APE in 2021. It was the first time we’d been back on a festival stage for two years and it was emotional. It’s a joy to return with my 2022 line-up, loaded with incendiary young artists, with roots in many different cultures.”
Jamz says: “Really excited to be playing APE again, last year was a real highlight for me. Nothing better than being in your hometown. The stage, the sound and the ravers made it magical. This year, I’m really excited to be curating my own line-up on the 6 Music stage, watching the DJs smash it and celebrating the end of the day by watching James Blake!”
Camilla Pia, Assistant Commissioner, 6 Music says: “The 6 Music Stage at All Points East was a triumph last year, so I’m delighted that we’ll be back in 2022 with even more of our DJs getting involved this time. AFRODEUTSCHE, Don Letts, Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova, Mary Anne Hobbs and Tom Ravenscroft will be curating our stage across all six days of the festival, selecting some of the most exciting DJs in the world to play in front of APE audiences. Each curator will bring a different flavour and feel to the stage and each line-up will be unmissable, I can’t wait to see how it goes down!”
