Molson Coors Beverage Company has been announced as the official sponsor and exclusive pouring rights partner for Uber One presents All Points East, in a new five-year agreement aimed at elevating the festival experience. As a result of the new partnership with Molson Coors, Madrí Excepcional, the third-biggest lager brand by value in the on-trade[1], will headline the festival’s drinks lineup. Music lovers will also be able to enjoy a broad range of lagers, ales and ciders from other leading Molson Coors brands, including Sharp’s Doom Bar and Atlantic Pale Ale, Aspall Cyder, Rekorderlig and Cobra Zero, which will all be available at bars across the festival site. East London’s celebrated festival Uber One presents All Points East returns to Victoria Park across two weekends this August (16 – 25 Aug).

A unique Madrí Excepcional interactive mural will feature at the festival, created with Madrid-based illustrator Gus Morais, taking inspiration from over 600 Madrid locals, which showcases the soul of Madrid and gives festival-goers an opportunity to win a host of prizes. The mural will arrive at the festival following a tour of the UK this summer where it has been bringing foodie fiestas to cities across the UK. The partnership with All Points East follows on from Molson Coors becoming the exclusive pouring rights partner of AEG’s Ovo Hydro Arena in Glasgow earlier this year, creating even more memorable musical experiences.
