Adding to the bill, Jamie brings his celebrated club residency ‘The Floor‘ to Victoria Park for a one-off festival showcase featuring a 3-hour set from DJ Harvey.

Named after Victoria Park’s historic Lido Field, this two-weekend festival will feature carefully curated music line-ups alongside community-driven activities during the week, all with a strong emphasis on sustainability. LIDO will showcase the most current headliners and work closely with them to curate the line ups, reflecting their musical influence.
LIDO welcomes now East London local Jamie xx as the first headliner for 2025. A forward-thinking beatmaker and producer, Jamie xx significantly influenced the sound of the late 2000s and beyond. Known for his work with The xx and his solo dance projects. Whether on record or djing live, Jamie expertly blends a kaleidoscope of genres, finding an emotional quality within the music that underpins and unites dancefloors worldwide.
Jamie xx says: “It’s always an exciting prospect playing in my home town. Having done The Floor and Alexandra Palace this year, it’s time for something else! I’m really looking forward to headlining Victoria Park, curating my own day festival and performing alongside my favourite artists.”
Jamie xx is a British composer, performer, music producer, artist, and is one of three members of The xx. In 2015 he released his GRAMMY, Brit, Ivor Novello, and Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut solo album In Colour on Young. On September 20, 2024, nine years on from the release of his globally revered debut album, Jamie returned to release his sophomore album In Waves. Across the album, Jamie xx replicates the emotional crescendos and thrilling volatility of an almost mystical night out alongside a cast of collaborators that include Robyn, Kelsey Lu, Honey Dijon, The Avalanches, John Glacier and Panda Bear, Oona Doherty and his The xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim. Jamie has toured widely, both as a member of The xx and a solo artist, his appearances range from small two hundred capacity underground club nights to sold-out arenas and headline slots at major festivals around the world. His euphoric and dynamic live sets have made him one of the most in-demand musician’s and DJ in the world. Next summer, LIDO Festival will be one of the first opportunities to experience his latest critically acclaimed work live in the UK.
