CMAT confirmed as LIDO Festival 2026 headliner

LIDO is returning to East London’s Victoria Park next year, and it’s already shaping up to be quite the event - not least because Irish country-pop sensation CMAT will be headlining one of the festival’s multiple days! 

She’s due to take to the site’s main stage on Friday 12th June 2026 - her first time ever topping a festival bill, no less - and will be joined by a staggeringly stacked lineup that includes Father John Misty, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory, Getdown Services, Katy J Pearson, and many more. 

The news comes at the tail end of what’s been an undeniably huge year for CMAT, from stealing the show at Glastonbury and spawning a viral TikTok dance (look up ‘Take A Sexy Picture Of Me’ and thank us later), to dropping her game-changing third opus ‘EURO-COUNTRY’. 

Tickets for CMAT’s headline turn at LIDO Festival will go on general sale at 10am on Thursday 13th November; find out more and nab yours here.
