Charli xcx to curate her own party girl bill at LIDO Festival 2025

It’s Monday morning and we’re kicking the week off with a bang! It’s been confirmed that Charli xcx is set to headline next year’s inaugural LIDO festival.

The ‘BRAT’ superstar will follow up her huge arena tour this month by taking to London’s Victoria Park next June for a full ‘party girl’ bill, as curated entirely by the singer herself. So far, she’s invited along regular collaborators A. G. Cook and The Dare, as well as ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’ features The Japanese House and Bladee, New Jersey rapper 070 Shake and electronic producer Kelly Lee Owens. Plus, there’s still more names to be announced.

The event is set to follow on from Jamie xx’s turn topping the bill at LIDO on Saturday 7th June, with the party girl all-dayer taking place the following weekend, on Saturday 14th June 2025. Pre-sale tickets for the show will go on sale from 10am on Wednesday 27th November, before hitting general sale at the same time on Friday 29th November. Best get those alarm clocks set! 

Taking place for the first time this year, LIDO promises to platform some of music’s most contemporary headline acts, whilst also working closely with said headliners to carefully curate bespoke line-ups that reflect their enduring influence and spotlight emerging artists. LIDO also aims to focus on sustainability and community development, and has partnered with local initiatives in East London to ensure its positive impact extends beyond the music.
