The Southbank Centre's Meltdown Festival, celebrating its 30th edition in June, will be curated by Mercury Prize-winning rapper Little Simz. Known for her dynamic style, Simz promises a diverse line-up featuring local talent and innovative performances. The festival is a prestigious highlight in London's cultural calendar, having previously welcomed icons like David Bowie and Grace Jones. Excited to bring her vision to life, Simz hinted at a blend of music, art, and workshops. The festival runs from June 12-22, with more details on artists to be revealed in the coming months.
I'm super excited to be the 2025 Meltdown festival curator! My team and I are preparing eleven days of art, music, workshops and more.
Each year, the Southbank invites one celebrated artist to curate the festival, getting them to select a range of established and emerging musical talents and nightlife promoters.
