That's where the map comes in handy. Here's the festival map for LIDO festival. How to get to LIDO festival There are a few ways to get to LIDO on public transport. If you want to travel by tube, the best stations to get off at are Mile End, which is on the District, Central and Hammersmith and City lines, or Bethnal Green, on the Central line. Both of these stations are within walking distance of Viccy Park. Just be aware that there are no night services on the Hammersmith and City or District lines. Alternatively, you can travel by bus. Hop on any of the 8, 277, 309, 339, 388, D3 and D6 services and you'll find a stop near the venue. If you are using public transportation, make sure to check before you travel, and have a look here for this weekend's disruptions. Are there any tickets left for Charli xcx at LIDO Festival 2025? Unfortunately, Charli's day at LIDO is pretty much sold out. It's no surprise given that Brat was such a cultural moment – everyone wants to see if the real thing lives up to the hype. However, there are a very small number of 'primary entry' tickets left, which allow you to get into the park an hour early. These are £107 and you can grab yours here. What's the weather looking like? Despite yellow storm warnings in some parts of the country, the weather forecast is actually quite positive. Expect moderate cloud coverage with spurts of sunshine, and temperatures in the high teens and low twenties (peaking at 23C at 3pm). There's currently no rain predicted to fall during the event, but as we've been having quite changeable weather lately there's no harm in bringing a poncho. Afterparties If you're going to see Charli, you probably love a party. The official LIDO afterparty is taking place at Colour Factory. Tickets are pretty pricey – sitting at around £40 – but if you think it's worth it, you can grab yours here.

Jamie xx reunites with bandmates at LIDO festival
Jamie xx reunites with bandmates at LIDO festival The electronic DJ made famous for his band The xx brought on fellow members Romy and Oliver Sim to play some of their biggest hits, including Waited All Night Jamie xx played his best loved songs to the 25,000 strong crowd in London (Image: Kieran Frost/Redferns/GettyImages ) Jamie xx reunited his iconic band to the joy of fans at the LIDO festival in London on Saturday. The electronic DJ made famous for his band The xx brought on fellow members Romy and Oliver Sim to play some of their biggest hits, including Waited All Night. The 25,000-strong crowd were not deterred by the miserable weather, with showers and dark, grey skies throughout the day, and braved the downpour to see the 36-year-old play his best-loved songs. He managed to captivate the crowd without a word, playing favourites like Life featuring Swedish singer Robyn, Dafodil featuring Kelsey Lu and Loud Places with bandmate Romy. After singing together, Romy waved to the crowd, shouting: "We love you, London," and kissed her friend on the cheek as she departed the stage, having already performed earlier in the festival as a solo act. At one point, he launched into a remix of I Hate Hate, which featured a dancer wearing what appeared to be a keffiyeh with colours of the Palestinian flag around the neck, dancing enthusiastically in the background visuals of his set. Article continues below Dressed in a chequered shirt and a gold chain, the DJ nonchalantly took to the stage, occasionally waving or raising his beer to the audience, before rolling up his sleeves and turning around to flick between the vinyl records he might use next. After beginning his solo set with a piano-based song, he increased the tempo and played a mix of garage, house, dubstep and techno tunes. Jamie xx managed to stir the crowd with songs such as F.U. featuring Erykah Badu and Baddy On The Floor featuring Honey Dijon. The 36-year-old had already set off the festival, which began at around 2pm, playing a back-to-back set with Skrillex in the production tent. The graphics around the main stage for the DJ's closing set began as a black and white checkerboard – styled like a nightclub – before featuring the audience dancing in slow motion and honing in on certain dancers. Before his main show, Jamie xx performed his first-ever back-to-back set with DJ Nia Archives, with whom he collaborated on a remix of Waited All Night. The pair took it in turns to perform tracks to the full crowd's thundering cheers underneath the big top tent. Hailing from London, the DJ – real name James Thomas Smith – found fame as part of the trio The xx, which was hugely popular throughout the 2010s for its breathy indie pop. Named after Victoria Park's historic Lido Field, the music series was announced last autumn in East London. Article continues below Charli XCX, Massive Attack and London Grammar are also headlining across the festival's weekends. The artist curated the line-up for today's festival, inviting former bandmates such as Romy, friends and people he says he admires, including Sampha, Arca and Shy FX. For the first time, the club stage The Floor – inspired by Jamie xx's club residencies – was available to fans, featuring smoke, dark lights and acts such as DJ Harvey.

Jamie xx brings ‘good times' to Victoria Park for first ever LIDO festival
If you have ever watched old videos of 90s raves taken on VHS and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you weren't even alive, Jamie xx is the musical equivalent. The DJ and member of indie trio The xx had curated the music lineup for the second day of LIDO festival in Victoria Park on June 7, and saw off the event as headliner. His music will always be nostalgic for me. Not because it is associated with any particular time, nor did it play a pivotal moment in my life. The lightshow brought the crowd on stage with Jamie xx with huge screens (Image: Miles Rebeiro) But something about the echoing sounds coming through the beats, like a party heard next door, makes you sentimental about old times. A sunny day turned soggy with rain in typical festival style. Fortunately, the two smaller stages were sheltered from the elements. As Romy appeared on stage, the sky seemed to lower the lights, and a downpour created a claustrophobic crush under the tent. Romy drew a huge crowd for her retro-infused synth (Image: Miles Rebeiro) Like Jamie xx, her retro synths also blurred the lines between looking back and living in the now. Walking over to the main stage, some drops still fell but a faint sunset cracked through the gloom. The main stage was a feat of engineering, with a huge movable ceiling that lowered itself just above the DJ. LIDO has three stages and a capacity of 32,000 people (Image: Miles Rebeiro) All over and behind, drone shots of the crowd and close-ups of people looking like they are having the best time of their lives are projected, flickering and fading in and out, adding to the sense of being in a good memory in the present. Jamie does not just play his album live, but plays a set of solid, original dance music that would be more suited to a club than a concert venue. The past had not escaped him as he was joined on stage by xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim. The festival avoided becoming a mudslide in the rain (Image: Miles Rebeiro) But for someone with so many collaborations on his albums, he was mainly alone, apart from the huge images of the crowd dancing all around him. There were the recognisable hits - Girl, Loud Places - woven in enough to grab a friend and sing the lyrics you know. But seeing him play was not just a play-through of his music but a very different experience from listening to his album. This is music to dance to and to create those good times his songs sing about. Even as you watch him, you are always aware that this is going to be a good memory. Jamie xx may evoke a time you are not sure you were a part of, but this was a party everyone could join.
