Felix White on The Maccabees headlining All Points East
As detailed in a press release, The Maccabees' reunion saw its early beginnings at Hugo's White's wedding in 2020, where he wanted to put together a covers band as part of the celebrations.
Guest spots were divided out between close friends and fellow musicians including Adele, Florence + The Machine and Jamie T. It was also suggested that The Maccabees could play Pelican, but Hugo wasn't sure if frontman Orlando would take part.
Orlando said of the event: “I didn’t go because it was The Maccabees playing together again, but because it was a beautiful gesture to be invited and to contribute to the spirit of the day. What I wanted, band aside, was to find a way to be in each other’s lives in some way."
A reunion wasn't discussed until years later, but the moment proved to be the catalyst for the band rekindling their relationship.
The Maccabees are headlining All Points East 2025!
On the headline show itself, guitarist Felix White said: “In the intervening years we’ve been to All Points East a lot, separately. It’s become a bit of a landmark festival for us, always checking who’s on the line-up. I’d go and have a great time throughout the day, but there was always this pinch of regret watching headliners that we could’ve done it ourselves one day too. I thought that moment had passed, and it was something I was prepared to come to terms with that I was always going to miss. I think we’re all kind of shocked and excited that we get to do it together again.”
His brother Hugo was also inspired, in part, by watching The Strokes at All Points East in 2023: “I could see that they were enjoying it, realising how great what they had created together was. Being a band, you are usually in a mindset of, ‘We can do better’ and you’re always chasing something else. This is an opportunity to realise that whatever we had in that moment was pretty special and get to enjoy it again. It’s a chance to appreciate everything, and especially how it impacts other people and created a community.”
