LIDO Festival - a new series of stand-alone day events for 2025 - has announced that London Grammar will be the next headliner at Victoria Park this Summer. With two Number One albums, an Ivor Novello Award, and several BRIT Award nominations to their name, the Nottingham-based trio will headline the LIDO on Sunday, June 15th, showcasing their new album, ‘The Greatest Love,’ which will be released in 2024, in a unique London festival performance. Joining them for the day will be soul-pop sensation Celeste, who recently made a comeback with her cinematic single ‘This Is Who I Am,’ innovative DJ The Blessed Madonna, indie-pop newcomers Wasia Project (who we interviewed last May), spoken-word talent Dan Whitlam, and many others. Additionally, LIDO has secured a fantastic lineup across various days - including Jamie xx’s specially-curated set on June 7th, OUTBREAK Festival’s inaugural event in London on June 13th, and Charli xcx’s party-themed extravaganza on June 14th, with more headliners yet to be revealed. The LIDO Festival 2025 will take place in Lido Field, Victoria Park, over two weekends in June (7th-8th and 13th-15th). Tickets for London Grammar's headlining day on Sunday, June 15th, will be available for general sale at 10am on Friday, January 31st; more information and tickets for all days can be found on the LIDO website, along with the complete lineup announced so far.
