Bombay Bicycle Club are playing a one-off headline show in Victoria Park at this summer’s LIDO Festival. The North London indie band will be playing their 2009 debut I Had The Blue But I Shook Them Loose in full, preceded in the early afternoon by a live performance of their 2011 sophomore release Flaws on Sunday 14th June. Special guests Metronomy, plus Alice Phoebe Lou, Billie Marten, and Lucy Rose, will provide support, with more artists yet to be announced. 

“We had such a great time last summer playing in Victoria Park that when we were asked to come back to headline LIDO, we jumped at the chance,” The band said, “We wanted to do something different as it’s 20 years since we started the band, so we’re going to play our first two albums in full - Flaws in the afternoon and then I Had The Blues in the evening.” Their latest release, 2023’s My Big Day, featured guest appearances from Damon Albarn, Chaka Khan, Jay Som, Holly Humberstone, and Nilüfer Yanya. 

Launched last year, LIDO Festival welcomed Massive Attack, Jamie xx, Charli XCX, and London Grammar to East London in 2025. The upcoming second edition will feature headliners Maribou State and CMAT. A festival focused on sustainability, LIDO was “highly commended” by A Greener Future (AGF) in 2025, earning AGF Certification, and was mentioned in IQ Magazine's 2025 Green Guardians.
