NIMBYs beware – another day festival is about to rear its head in the capital. That’s right, the much-anticipated LIDO Festival kicks off tonight in east London’s Victoria Park. And it looks set to be a stonker.
If trip-hop legends are your thing, you’re gonna want to head down tonight to witness LIDO’s inaugural headline performance from Massive Attack. Or perhaps you’re holding out for Charli XCX’s brat-pop mayhem or London Grammar’s sunset synths, both taking to the stage next weekend? Either way, LIDO is coming in hot.
Tomorrow, Time Out cover star Jamie xx will headline the second and final day of the 5,000-capacity weekender - and he’s not doing things by halves. Expect a solo headline set, two back-to-back appearances (with Skrillex and Nia Archives), and support from Sampha, Arca, Romy and DJ Harvey.
Planning to head down? Here’s everything you need to know.
When and where is Jamie xx at LIDO Festival?
Jamie xx is playing at LIDO Festival in Victoria Park’s Lido Field on Saturday, June 7. He’s scheduled for a full solo headline set on the Main Stage from 9.25pm to 10.55pm – but if you’re keen, you’ll catch him earlier too: he’s going b2b with Skrillex at 2.10pm on the Main Stage and b2b with Nia Archives at 4.30pm on Stage 2. It’s a Jamie xx hat trick.

Festival map
Here’s how the festival will be laid out.

How to get to LIDO festival
If you’re travelling to LIDO by tube, you’ll want to head toward Mile End (District, Central and Hammersmith & City lines) or Bethnal Green (Central line). Just a heads up: there’s no night tube on the District or Hammersmith & City lines.
Coming by bus? You’ve got plenty of options: the 8, 277, 309, 339, 388, D3 and D6 all run close to Victoria Park.
Are there any tickets left for Jamie xx at LIDO Festival 2025?
There sure are. Somehow Saturday isn’t sold out yet, despite the Jamie xx triple-bill. You can still grab tickets for LIDO Festival (from £91.25) here.
What’s the weather looking like?
Not great. Both the BBC and Met Office are forecasting scattered showers, some thundery, with a breeze blowing through the afternoon. It’ll stay fairly warm and muggy, though - and let’s be honest, you’ll probably be very sweaty anyway - so you won’t need too many layers. Bring a light waterproof and embrace the damp.
Are there any banned items at LIDO?
Of course! it’s a festival, so the usual rules apply. No sharp stuff, no flares, and definitely no umbrellas. You can check the full banned items list here.
