They will be joined by Celeste, Róisín Murphy, Pip Millett, The Blessed Madonna, Wasia Project, Maverick Sabre, Neil Frances (Club NF), Dan Whitlam, Holly Walker, and Clementine Douglas.

London Grammar: A Decade of Excellence
This platinum-selling trio consists of Hannah Reid, Dan Rothman, and Dot Major, who have continued to impress audiences with their unique blend of electronic pop and the soulful vocals of Reid. Their newest album, coming fresh in 2024 the prior year, seals this legacy even more and again captures themes of empowerment and self-growth. Having sold over 3 million albums, apart from the many awards and recognition for sold-out performances at the O2 and Alexandra Palace, this soon-to-happen gig at LIDO brings a very rare feel of intimacy stirred with glory.

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.
