CMAT confirmed to headline Lido Festival
CMAT has been confirmed as the headliner for Lido Festival in 2026, taking place in Tower Hamlets, East London.
The Irish pop star will take to the stage as the main act for the festival for the first ever time on June 12th, 2026, being joined by a stacked line-up of artists including Father John Misty, Sharon Van Etten and The Attachment Theory, Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland.
The bill for the day will be rounded off with huge emerging names such as Getdown Services, Katy J Pearson, Junior Brother, Jacqui McShee’s Pentangle and Zakia (DJ).
Lido Festival will mark CMAT’s first-ever headline appearance, signifying a huge pinnacle in her ascension as an artist so far.
The second weekend of the event at Lido Field, taking place on June 20th, 2026, will be headlined by Maribou State alongside Kelis, Folamour, Theo Parrish b2b Moodymann, and many more names yet to be announced.
CMAT has witnessed a rise in her stardom off the back of her third album Euro-Country, which was released back in August and most recently saw her nominated for the Mercury Prize. She also performed a seismic set at Glastonbury over the summer, making her first appearance on the Pyramid Stage in June.
Continuing to capitalise on this trajectory, the singer has already been confirmed to be on the bill for a range of other major festivals next summer, including Øya Festival in Oslo and TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow.
Before then, however, she is also set to embark on her largest solo tour to date early next year, where she will visit multiple cities across the UK and Ireland from the end of this year and heading into 2026. She will kick off at Rock City in Nottingham on November 14th before concluding with a seismic gig at Alexandra Palace in London on March 13th, 2026.
