Massive Attack to headline LIDO Festival for their first London festival appearance in almost a decade

Massive Attack will perform their live show (designed in collaboration between Robert Del Naja, United Visual Artists and documentarist Adam Curtis), and continue their pioneering work with ACT 1.5 to rapidly decarbonise live music events. With their ongoing partnership with clean energy provider Ecotricity, their performance at LIDO will be 100% powered by battery - significantly reducing both carbon emissions and local air pollution. Also performing on the day will be French duo Air, Yasiin Bey and The Alchemist are FORENSICS and South East London singer and songwriter Tirzah.

Speaking about the event Robert Del Naja (3D) writes: "To present London's first ever 100% battery powered festival day with a dynamic range of artists is an optimum outcome for us. History shows it's often the combination of art and science that overcomes the greatest challenges we face, so it's good to see LIDO take learnings from our ACT1.5 event last year and apply those technologies to where they see emissions coming from. Clean productions beginning this journey to normalisation is good news for everyone, but especially for music fans that come to festivals and the local communities that live around them."

Massive Attack will join previously announced headliners Jamie xx (Saturday 7 June), OUTBREAK Fest (Friday 13 June), Charli xcx’s own party girl festival (Saturday 14 June) and London Grammar (Sunday 15 June) for the inaugural LIDO.
