Chase & Status closed a day of drum and bass, garage and bassline at All Points East, with Overmono and Sammy Virji on the stages before them.
The London drum and bass duo Chase & Status headlined All Points East in Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets, on Saturday 16 August 2025. They had won the Brit Award for Producer of the Year in 2024.
Saul Milton and Will Kennard formed the duo in 2003, after meeting at university in Manchester. They have since released seven studio albums and run their own label, MTA Records.
Their album 2 Ruff, Vol. 1 put four singles in the UK top 40 at once, the first time a UK band had done so since 2010. In 2024 “Backbone”, with Stormzy, gave them a UK number one.
The park set leaned on their records of the 2020s, among them “Baddadan”, “Disconnect” with Becky Hill, and “Backbone”. Flames rose from the stage on the drops.
The day ran across several stages from the afternoon. Overmono played a 50-minute set on the East Stage, and Sammy Virji drew a packed crowd to the West Stage as the light went.
Nia Archives, Dimension, Shy FX, Joy Orbison with SP:MC, and Jyoty back to back with Ahadadream also played.
