London's first Lido Festival at Victoria Park will take place this weekend
The inaugural Lido Festival will take place at London’s Victoria Park this weekend - here’s what to expect
Festival season is in full swing here in London, and the city is alive with the sound of music!
Last weekend saw thousands of Londoners (and out-of-towners) flock to Brockwell Park for Mighty Hoopla.
This weekend, Victoria Park will play host to the very first Lido Festival.
The event will take place across two weekends, kicking off this Friday (6th June) with Massive Attack.
It will continue on Saturday (7th June) as headliners Jamie xx, Sampha Romy, and Arca take to the stage.
It will follow a similar layout to other popular mult-date city music events like BST Hyde Park.
Gates will open in the afternoon, and guests can enjoy live music, theatre performances, fitness sessions, family-friendly events, and food and drink stalls.
With a packed line-up that includes Charli XCX, Jamie xx, and London Grammar, Lido Festival is poised to become a hot event in the city’s social calendar.
Lido Festival is setting a new standard for eco-conscious festivals. The event’s opening night will be powered entirely by battery, eliminating diesel generator emissions.
