LIDO Festival, the newest highlight on London’s summer calendar, today unveils its first 2026 headliner Maribou State will headline on Saturday 20 June alongside a full line-up to be announced. The second edition of London’s acclaimed sustainable music festival returns to Victoria Park in 2026 following its successful debut in June of this year. Tickets will go on general sale from Friday 24 October at 10am.
Maribou State – “We’ve made some of our best memories touring in London, from our first ever show at Oslo through to playing Alexandra Palace earlier this year. We’re over the moon to announce our biggest show yet in the city next summer, alongside a line up of some of our favourite artists. This is going to be special. See you all next June.”
Maribou State are Hertfordshire-born duo Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, celebrated for crafting genre-fluid soundscapes that merge organic instrumentation, grooves and atmospheric textures. Since 2011, the duo have established themselves as major players on the global dance music circuit, performing roadblock shows at Glastonbury to the Sydney Opera House, as well as back-to-back sold-out UK, EU and North American tours.
The duo have released three studio albums: Portraits (2015), Kingdoms In Colour (2018) and Hallucinating Love (2025) and collaborated with an array of artists, including Holly Walker, North Downs, Khruangbin, Andreya Triana and Gaidaa, blending their electronic sound with diverse vocal and instrumental talents. In the context of electronic music and live performances, Maribou State is often credited with bringing a deeply emotive, organic dimension to the modern downtempo / electronica space – balancing dancefloor sensibility with introspective nuance.
