"The long-running Meltdown Festival is returning to the Southbank Centre this year Meltdown Festival at the Southbank Centre is the world's longest-running artist-curated music festival and has been curated by the likes of Yoko Ono, David Bowie, Nile Rodgers, Grace Jones, Christine and the Queens, Chaka Khan and Little Simz. Now Harry Styles is taking the reins for 2026, in what is the Southbank Centre's 75th anniversary year."
""I'm deeply honoured to curate the Meltdown festival, especially for the Southbank Centre's 75th anniversary year. My goal as the curator is to share the music and art that I love, and to celebrate the rich history of the venue. We both share a passionate belief that music is a vital part of life. It brings us together and the Southbank Centre has been at the heart of it, providing easy access to great music for the past 75 years.""
Meltdown Festival will take place at the Southbank Centre from 11–21 June 2026. The festival is the world's longest-running artist-curated music festival, previously curated by figures such as Yoko Ono, David Bowie, Nile Rodgers, Grace Jones, Christine and the Queens, Chaka Khan and Little Simz.
