LIDO Festival 2026

Launched in summer 2025, LIDO Festival puts artists first and hands them control, for a festival entirely programmed by the headliners. They bring their favourite artists, collaborators, newly tipped artists and their own style to each day. From the acts to the artwork and stage design – every aspect is personal to them. Named after Victoria Park’s Lido Field, the 10-day event offers hand-picked music line-ups with a strong focus on sustainability, as well as community events during the week.

Tickets are now on sale at www.ticketmaster.co.uk.

The two-weekend festival not only showcased world-class music but also set a new benchmark for sustainable large-scale events through a landmark green power strategy delivered in partnership with Grid Faeries and Ecotricity, amongst other partners. London’s first main stage powered by a 3MWh solar-charged battery was combined with hydrogen and portable battery technologies, sustainable food concessions, and zero landfill waste management, achieving 32 hours of 100% battery operation and setting a new standard for environmentally driven live events. By embedding sustainability at its core, LIDO Festival aims to redefine what it means to be a responsible, forward-thinking live music event. With an uncompromising focus on reducing environmental impact while delivering an unforgettable experience, LIDO is on the path to becoming not only London’s newest festival but also one of its greenest.

Some good news — the first two headliners for 2026 have been announced! CMAT will top the bill on Friday 12 June, joined by Father John Misty, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory, Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland, Getdown Services, Katy J Pearson, Junior Brother, Jacqui McShee’s Pentangle, and Zakia (DJ).

On Saturday 20 June, Maribou State will headline alongside Kelis, Folamour, Theo Parrish b2b Moodymann, and more still to be announced.

The second edition of London’s acclaimed sustainable music festival returns to Victoria Park in 2026, following its successful debut this June. Tickets for both events are already on general sale.

LIDO Festival has been named one of IQ Magazine's 2025 Green Guardians. The annual round-up recognises some of the industry-voted eco-warriors driving the live entertainment industry's efforts toward a more sustainable future.
