Massive Attack announced to headline LIDO Festival in Victoria Park; their first London festival show in 9 years. On Friday 6th June, the iconic Bristol band will not only perform their acclaimed live show (designed in collaboration between Robert Del Naja, United Visual Artists and documentarist Adam Curtis) but continue their pioneering work with ACT 1.5 to rapidly decarbonise live music events. With their ongoing partnership with clean energy provider Ecotricity, their performance at LIDO will be 100% powered by battery – significantly reducing both carbon emissions and local air pollution.
Support will come from a stellar line-up including the French duo Air, famed for their elevated and otherworldly pop, including classics such as ‘Sexy Boy’, ‘Playground Love’, ‘Cherry Blossom Girl’ and ‘Kelly Watched the Stars’.
Also on the bill will be Yasiin Bey and The Alchemist are FORENSICS. Hip hop legends Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) and The Alchemist recently presented a live streamed performance of FORENSICS on Bandcamp and a full album is set to follow.
Massive Attack will join previously announced headliners Jamie xx (Saturday 7 June), OUTBREAK Fest (Friday 13 June), Charli xcx’s own party girl festival (Saturday 14 June) and London Grammar (Sunday 15 June) for the inaugural LIDO.
LIDO is putting artists first and handing them control, for a festival entirely programmed by the headliners. They will 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 will offer hand-picked music line-ups with a strong focus on sustainability, as well as community events during the week.
