Charli XCX is headlining a massive new music festival in east London next summer – how to get tickets
by Ed Cunningham · Time Out LondonBrat summer might’ve passed, but the hype over Charli XCX’s latest album certainly isn’t going away anytime soon. The other month she released a remix record, last weekend she played Outernet in a flashy Revolut bash, this week she’ll play a sold-out gig at the O2 Arena, next summer she’ll headline the massive Primavera Barcelona and she’s being teased as a headliner of Manchester’s Parklife.
It’s time to start thinking about Brat Summer 2.0 – and next year London will get a piece of the action. Today (November 25) it’s been announced that Charli XCX will headline Victoria Park day festival LIDO next June. And better yet, she’ll also be helping curate the lineup.
LIDO was announced back in October as a new festival taking place in Victoria Park put together by AEG Presents. The idea behind the fest is that the organisers will work with headliners to produce ‘bespoke’ lineups, and the first headliner was announced as Jamie xx.
Charli’s LIDO fest will be titled ‘party girl’ and the lineup will feature plenty of Brat collaborators. Here’s everything you need to know about the fest, from ticket sale dates to the lineup so far.
