Charli XCX has been revealed as the second headliner for London’s new LIDO festival, where she will curate her own themed day, titled Party Girl.

The newly-launched festival in Victoria Park, east London, created by the team behind All Points East, will feature Jamie xx headlining on June 7.

The following weekend, on June 14, ‘Brat’ superstar Charli XCX will take the stage, joined by collaborators and friends such as The Japanese House, A. G. Cook, and The Dare for a headline performance.

Other names on the line-up include Bladee, 070 Shake, and Kelly Lee Owens with more names to be announced soon.

Tickets for Charli's show go on general sale Friday, November 29.

LIDO Festival, named after the historic Lido Field in the park, will take place across two weekends in June 2025.

The event promises a mix of "carefully curated music line-ups" and community-driven activities throughout the week, all with a focus on sustainability.

While the full line-up is yet to be revealed, the festival has teased a selection of "current headliners" and a strong emphasis on emerging talent, supported by East London Arts and Music (ELAM).

Students from the school will have the opportunity to perform, as well as gain vocational experience in festival production, technology, and the broader music industry.

Charli XCX has been announcing her live dates for 2025, with a US tour recently confirmed following her 'Sweat' tour with Troye Sivan.

Fans first caught wind of the tour after spotting 'Brat'-themed billboards across various cities in the country.

The British hitmaker is set to perform two outdoor shows in 2025 in Belfast and Dublin, as well as take the stage at Coachella and headline Primavera Sound.

She will then perform at London’s The O2 on November 28, Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena on November 29, and finish at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro Arena on December 2.

Before her UK tour, Charli XCX closed Revolut's "The Revolutionaries" event with a performance at London’s Here at Outernet.

The special event featured panel discussions, live performances, interactive activities, and influential voices from industries like gaming, sports, fashion, art, tech, and travel.
