For the highly-anticipated gig, Massive Attack have partnered with clean energy provider Ecotricity to create a 100 percent battery-powered performance. The aim is to help reduce carbon emissions and pollution produced by the festival.

Speaking about the upcoming show, Robert Del Naja (3D) said: "To present London's first ever 100% battery-powered festival day with a dynamic range of artists is an optimum outcome for us. History shows it's often the combination of art and science that overcomes the greatest challenges we face, so it's good to see LIDO take learnings from our ACT1.5 event last year and apply those technologies to where they see emissions coming from."

It's not the first time the group have worked to reduce their environmental footprint. Massive Attack famously turned down Coachella 2025 due to the festival's environmental impact.
