Organisers of LIDO festival have announced a major schedule change for 2026, confirming the event will no longer take place in June in order to protect ground conditions in Victoria Park.

Instead, the festival will move to late summer, with a one-off rescheduled date set for 31 August.

Electronic duo Maribou State will now perform on the new date, along with all of their planned support acts.

However, the other previously planned events will no longer go ahead.

The 12 June bill featuring CMAT, Father John Misty, and Sharon Van Etten has been cancelled, along with the 14 June show headlined by Bombay Bicycle Club and Metronomy.

Ticketholders for both dates will receive full refunds.
