Maribou State confirmed as first headliner of 2026’s LIDO Festival

Just over six months on from the release of their latest album, Maribou State have been confirmed as the first headline act for next year’s LIDO Festival.

The Hertfordshire-born duo - who released their third full-length, ‘Hallucinating Love’, back in January of this year - have announced plans to return to the stage in London next summer, for the second edition of LIDO Festival. They’ll top the bill of the event on Saturday 20th June, when it returns to Victoria Park’s Lido Field in 2026. 

“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,” the duo have said of their appearance. “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.”

Their biggest show yet will feature a supporting cast of artists handpicked by the duo’s Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, with a full list of names set to be announced shortly. However - ahead of tickets going on general sale from 10am this Friday 24 October - one name has already been revealed: the iconic Kelis will be taking to the stage as part of the event.

Next year’s edition of LIDO Festival will follow on from the inaugural series of events which took place earlier this year, and features huge shows from the likes of Massive Attack, Charli xcx, Jamie xx, London Grammar, and Turnstile, who headlined the first London leg of Outbreak Festival, as part of proceedings.
