He's scheduled for a full solo headline set on the Main Stage from 9.25pm to 10.55pm – but if you're keen, you'll catch him earlier too: he's going b2b with Skrillex at 2.10pm on the Main Stage and b2b with Nia Archives at 4.30pm on Stage 2.

How to get to LIDO festival If you're travelling to LIDO by tube, you'll want to head toward Mile End (District, Central and Hammersmith & City lines) or Bethnal Green (Central line). Just a heads up: there's no night tube on the District or Hammersmith & City lines. Coming by bus? You've got plenty of options: the 8, 277, 309, 339, 388, D3 and D6 all run close to Victoria Park. Are there any tickets left for Jamie xx at LIDO Festival 2025? There sure are. Somehow Saturday isn't sold out yet, despite the Jamie xx triple-bill. You can still grab tickets for LIDO Festival (from £91.25) here. What's the weather looking like? Not great. Both the BBC and Met Office are forecasting scattered showers, some thundery, with a breeze blowing through the afternoon. It'll stay fairly warm and muggy, though - and let's be honest, you'll probably be very sweaty anyway - so you won't need too many layers. Bring a light waterproof and embrace the damp. Are there any banned items at LIDO? Of course! it's a festival, so the usual rules apply. No sharp stuff, no flares, and definitely no umbrellas. You can check the full banned items list here.

Artists skip Spain's Sonar festival in support of Palestinians
In an open letter posted on social media, more than 60 artists -- including Arca, Asia, DJ Paquita Gordon, and Shaun J. Wright -- accused the private equity firm KKR of being "fully complicit in the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza". Sonar -- which will be held in Barcelona this year June 12-14 -- is one of around 80 global events operated by Superstruct Entertainment, which has been majority-owned by KKR (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts) since October 2024. The artists are urging the festival to sever ties with KKR and to adhere to the principles of the international Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to financially pressure Israel into ending the occupation of the Palestinian territories. BDS accuses KKR of complicity in "Israel's genocide and colonial apartheid regime", citing the firm's stake in German media group Axel Springer. That group owns Israeli classifieds site Yad2, which BDS says features listings for real estate projects in occupied Palestinian territories. The Sonar festival said on its website that the 2024 acquisition of Superstruct shares by KKR and other investors was "purely financial" and that Sonar had no say in the transaction. "We categorically condemn the genocide of the Palestinian people," the festival said in a statement, adding: "At no time have we ever sent -- nor will we ever send -- a single euro to KKR." Spanish Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun, a member of the far-left Sumar alliance, voiced concern last month over what he described as KKR's involvement in Spanish festivals and its business activities in "illegally occupied" Palestinian territories. "We do not want a fund that actively contributes to the illegal occupation of Palestine to have a role in our cultural life," he told reporters. Contacted by AFP in New York, KKR did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Spain, Ireland and Norway officially recognised a Palestinian state in May 2024 in a coordinated decision slammed by Israel. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is one of the most outspoken critics in the European Union of Israel's military operations in Gaza.

Spain's Sonar Festival hit by artist boycott over parent firm KKR's Israel ties
MADRID, June 6 — Dozens of artists have pulled out of next week's Sonar electronic music festival in Spain, protesting financial ties between its parent company and real estate investments in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.
