The Maccabees closed All Points East 2025 with a homecoming reunion show, their first tour after an eight-year break, with Bombay Bicycle Club as guests.
Back together after eight years apart, The Maccabees closed All Points East in Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets, on Sunday 24 August 2025. Bombay Bicycle Club were their special guests.
The indie rock band formed in London in 2004. Orlando Weeks sings, with the brothers Felix and Hugo White on guitars, Rupert Jarvis on bass and Sam Doyle on drums.
Their second single, “Latchmere”, about the wave machine at the Latchmere Leisure Centre in Battersea, found an audience in 2006. Four albums followed between 2007 and 2015, among them their debut, Colour It In, and Given to the Wild in 2012.
They played farewell shows in 2017 and announced their return in October 2024. The park night was their homecoming, and the crowd sang “Latchmere” from its first notes.
On stage they thanked the audience “for taking a chance on a band that hasn’t played for a very long time”.
Everything Everything, CMAT, Black Country, New Road and Dry Cleaning also played on the final day.
