Named after Victoria Park’s historic Lido Field, Friday saw LIDO burst onto London’s festival scene with its first day proving it will quickly become an essential urban event.
Victoria Park was showcased to stunning effect, a day of artistic excellence and, in an industry first, LIDO’s main stage was entirely powered by the Grid Faeries x Ecotricity 1 MW battery.
Massive Attack joined headliners Jamie xx (Saturday 7 June), OUTBREAK Fest (Friday 13 June), Charli xcx’s own party girl festival (Saturday 14 June) and London Grammar (Sunday 15 June) for the inaugural LIDO.
It comes after Naomi insisted she has been ‘misunderstood’ by the public as she posed for a striking cover shoot with Dazed magazine.
The model is as well known for her diva attitude as she is for striking good looks, but claimed that as a Gemini star sign, there are ‘two sides’ to her, mainly through exhibiting introverted and extroverted behaviour.

She mused: ‘That’s where Geminis are misunderstood, but we are the ultimate communicators and connectors…
‘I can’t please everybody. All that I do is transparent, and I am very loyal to the people I love. I care about the people I love. I value my long relationships.
‘In friendships, I don’t have time for the word “frivolous”. I don’t associate with that word, it’s not who I am. When I care, I care… but don’t mistake my kindness for weakness.’

Talk also turned to the lessons that she was hoping to impart on her children.
The supermodel shocked the world when she announced the surprise birth of her daughter in 2021, followed by a son in 2023, both of whose names the catwalk queen has not made public.
Discussing her parenting approach, she mused: ‘I want to pass on the inner strength, the discipline. Pass on the things that were shared with me from my grandmother, my aunts and my mother. The most important thing for me is for my kids to be happy.’
She added that she felt ‘blessed’ to be able to travel and see the world with her children like she had down with her own mother.
Alongside the interview, Naomi posed for a striking photoshoot that saw her model an array of skimpy ensembles.
She transformed into a butterfly for the cover snap, posing in a skintight mini dress and boasting large yellow wings.
Naomi wore beads in her long dark hair for the shoot, while flashing her toned legs in a ruffled yellow gown.
Another stunning snap saw her pose braless beneath a beaded mesh dress.

Naomi confirmed last year that she welcomed both her children via surrogate after becoming a mother for the first time in 2021 aged 50 and posed with the newborn on the cover of Vogue.
She previously admitted that her daughter wasn’t adopted before clarifying that she hadn’t been pregnant herself as she discussed how much her children mean to her.
Telling The Times: ‘My babies are everything to me. It’s made me fear for the future.’
Naomi went on to explain that she was never looking for a father for her kids and is happy being ‘a single mother of a single mum’.
When asked whether she used a surrogate she replied: ‘I did. I hope for a better world for my children. They are 110 per cent my priority. I have to be there for them on their first day at school.’
Her daughter’s arrival sparked widespread speculation that she used a surrogate, a popular approach among older celebrity mothers, because she was not spotted with an obvious baby bump in the months leading up to the birth.
