Each year, London Literature Festival aims to bring together readers of all ages to ‘celebrate the power of the written and spoken word’, with a big name celebrity curator leading the charge. And excitingly, the 2026 edition will have popstar and Service95 Book Club founder Dua Lipa in the hot seat, in a festival that runs from Wednesday October 21 - Sunday November 1.
The line-up for the festival won't be announced until this summer. Dua Lipa has proven that she's a massive advocate for books from around the world with her monthly fiction podcast, where she interviews a different author each month, and she's also spoken up for marginalised readers facing incarceration or book bans. So it's likely that she'll curate a fest with a global feel, with plenty to pull in her young fanbase.
