Massive Attack has been confirmed as the headliners for LIDO 2025 in London, marking their first performance in the city in nine years. Scheduled for June 6 at Victoria Park, the band’s set will be powered entirely by batteries in partnership with clean energy provider Ecotricity, significantly cutting carbon emissions and local air pollution.

Joining Massive Attack will be the renowned electronica duo Air, along with acts such as Tirzah, Yasiin Bey, and the Alchemist. More support acts are expected to be announced soon.

Tickets will be available for general sale on February 21 at 10 am (GMT) via LIDO’s official website, with a pre-sale starting on February 20 for newsletter subscribers.

Last year, Massive Attack staged significant climate action shows, including the UK’s largest low-carbon gig in Bristol and another in Liverpool featuring IDLES and Nile Rodgers & Chic.

Band member Robert Del Naja (3D) expressed enthusiasm for LIDO’s 100% battery-powered festival, noting the amalgamation of art and science can help tackle critical challenges. He emphasised the responsibility of clean productions for festivals, benefiting both music enthusiasts and local communities.

Massive Attack will headline LIDO 2025 in London with a concert focused on sustainable practices. The event will feature multiple artists and aims to reduce environmental impact through battery-powered performances. Tickets will soon be available, and the festival is set to make a significant mark with its commitment to climate action.

Massive Attack has announced their first headlining festival performance in London in nearly ten years. The Bristol duo will perform at the LIDO Festival on June 6th, taking place at Victoria Park’s Lido Field. This marks their return to London after a performance during their 2019 tour at the O2 venue.

The duo’s set will be entirely powered by batteries, aligning with their mission to decarbonise live events. In August 2024, they hosted a similar eco-friendly event at Bristol’s Clifton Downs, which focused on renewable energy, waste reduction, and plant-based options for attendees.

Massive Attack joins an impressive lineup at LIDO Festival, which includes artists like Arca, Jamie xx, Air, and Charli XCX. A special one-day curation by Charli XCX features performers such as A.G. Cook and Bladee. The full festival programme will be announced later.

Massive Attack is set to headline the inaugural LIDO Festival in London this June, marking their first festival appearance in nine years. Their commitment to sustainability shines through as their performance will be entirely battery-powered, reinforcing their ongoing environmental efforts. With an exciting lineup of artists joining them, LIDO Festival promises to be a significant event for music lovers and climate advocates alike.
