This year, LIDO Festival is the essential closing act to London’s summer season, taking place on Monday 31 August with a line-up that spans the full spectrum of electronic, soul and experimental music. Headlined and curated by Maribou State, the British duo known for their lush, electronic and live instrumentation, the festival will deliver a day of discovery and dance, with new acts announced: Alabaster Deplume, Calibre, DJ Koze, Kelly Lee Owens (DJ set), Lady Wray, LTJ Bukem, MADMADMAD, Marie Davidson (Live), Oscar Farrell, United Freedom Collective And Yemz.

The bill is a who’s who of artists pushing boundaries across genres, from the liquid drum & bass mastery of LTJ Bukem, the atmospheric electronics of Kelly Lee Owens (DJ set) and the free-jazz spoken word of Alabaster DePlume. Renowned German DJ and producer DJ Koze also joins the billing, alongside Canadian electronic musician Marie Davidson for a live set in Victoria Park.
Launched in summer 2025, LIDO 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.
The 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.
