London's All Points East Festival was supposed to start today, May 22. Of course, like all other major festivals, it has been affected by the coronavirus crisis and was forced to cancel. But the festival has announced a new content hub in its place, "Ten Days Of All Points East."

“Today would have marked the start of All Points East 2020 and in celebration of our talented, vibrant, diverse and extraordinary artists and collaborators we will be showcasing the hidden corners of our festival over the next ten days,” festival organizers said in a statement. “Please come together and enjoy a treasure trove of experiences. We will be sharing it all on this page so keep checking for new content. Each day starting from today. Love to all.”
