A White Christmas on Radio X with Felix & Hugo White
The Maccabees - completed by frontman Orlando Weeks, bassist Rupert Jarvis and drummer Sam Doyle - will play All Points East on Sunday 24th August 2025.
They'll be joined on the day by a specially curated line-up of acts, including Bombay Bicycle Club, Dry Cleaning and The Cribs, Nilüfer Yanya, The Murder Capital, Divorce and more added to the bill.
Speaking about the upcoming bill-topping set, Felix also told Toby Tarrant that the shows were "too magical" to pass up.
"In a way, All Points East has sort of become that for the indie generation, because Reading and Leeds has changed a little bit, so you always look at the line-up," he admitted.
"So, that was the one that, like, when it got offered to us, it was like, ‘Argh! We can’t not do that!’ It just feels too great, too magical. So that’s where we are.”
