LIDO Festival’s June debut in London has just escalated from anticipated to essential with the announcement of a b2b set between Skrillex and Jamie xx.
While not entirely unprecedented, their joining forces behind the decks remains a rarity, one reserved for moments that aim to push the envelope beyond the standard music festival playbook.
The performance will take place on Saturday, June 7th as part of the Jamie xx-curated lineup at Victoria Park. The day also features his b2b with Nia Archives, a showcase of his underground club concept “The Floor” and sets from avant-pop visionaries like Arca and Romy.
Skrillex has made a habit of surprising audiences with unlikely b2b sets in recent years, including his collaborative performances alongside Fred again.. and Four Tet, with whom he headlined sold-out spectacles at Coachella and Madison Square Garden. Presently, he’s riding the wave of a disruptive new chapter following the release of his long-awaited fourth album, F*CK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT!! <3.
Tickets for LIDO Festival, taking place June 6-7 and June 13-15 at London’s Victoria Park, are available now.
