The LIDO festival in Victoria Park, while smaller than All Points East, captures a vibrant atmosphere for London's youth. Artists like Air and Massive Attack perform, blending music with activism, particularly focusing on the Gaza crisis. Massive Attack has embraced the role of social commentator, using their platform to address urgent issues, including the impact of war. Their set included powerful visuals and messages, with frontman Robert Del Naja advocating for peace and highlighting the devastation in Gaza, ensuring the night was marked by both enjoyment and reflection.
Massive Attack are not a band to pay lip service to an idea. With their decarbonized gigs they are trailblazing changes to how outdoor live music is staged.
At one point, Robert '3D' Del Naja, sporting a black jersey with the word Press asserted "children are not a target."
Palestinian flags waved in the crowd, and on screen, horrific statistics and harrowing films of devastation played - most memorably on a deeply moving Safe From Harm.
