Maribou State are the first headliners for London’s LIDO Festival 2026. Find all the details below.
The electronic duo will perform at the Victoria Park festival on Saturday June 20, alongside a full line-up that will be revealed at a later date.
Speaking about their headline slot, Maribou State said: “We’ve made some of our best memories touring in London, from our first ever show at Oslo through to playing Alexandra Palace earlier this year.
“We’re over the moon to announce our biggest show yet in the city next summer, alongside a line-up of some of our favourite artists. This is going to be special. See you all next June.”
Tickets go on sale next Friday (October 24) at 10am, and will be available here.
LIDO is named after the park’s Lido Field, and promises two weekends featuring “carefully curated music line-ups alongside community-driven activities during the week, all with a strong emphasis on sustainability.”

The festival launched this year, after being announced late in 2024. It’s run by AEG Presents, who also organise All Points East, BST Hyde Park and Forwards.
Announcing their inaugural year, LIDO explained that it aims to “showcase the most current headliners and work closely with them to curate the line-ups, reflecting their own musical passions, with a strong focus on emerging artists.”
The first edition saw headline performances from Massive Attack, Jamie xx, Charli XCX and London Grammar.
NME gave Charli XCX’s LIDO day – which was dubbed ‘partygirl’ – a glowing four-star review, which read: “The line-up pulls from her list of collaborators, friends and cult acts to serve up a cross-section of current electronic-leaning pop and some of its most interesting creators.
“As much as today is a celebration of a whole corner of music, though, it’s also a victory lap for Charli and the runaway success of ‘Brat’,” the review continued. “As she comes on stage under a barrage of green lights and the unfurling of the ‘Brat’ banner – now tattered and half-shredded – the album’s impact is evident in the excited screams that ring across Victoria Park.”
As for Maribou State, they released their third album, ‘Hallucinating Love’, earlier this year, which received four stars from NME. “Already certified masters of their craft, ‘Hallucinating Love’ cherry-picks fresh blooms and euphoric alt-pop melodies to enhance what we already know and love about Maribou State,” the review read.
