A truly historic festival - Southbank Centre’s Meltdown festival has been an important part of the UK’s cultural calendar for years. With a different curator each year, previous years have been designed by names like Nick Cave, Yoko Ono, David Bowie and Patti Smith to name a few. But in 2023, they’re making history with their youngest curator yet as Christine and the Queens steps up to the post.

Exploring all corners of Chris’ influence and sound, they’ve shared the first additions to the line up. Django Django, Sigur Ros, Warpaint, Bat For Lashes and Let’s Eat Grandma are amongst the first names, taking to the Southbank Centre between June 9th-18th. 

Also on the lineup are KOKOROKO, Yemi Alade, Oxlade, Serpentwithfeet, Squrl and Totally Enormous Dinosaurs. So in short, there’s a lot going on across all genres.

Still with more names to be added and more events to be announced, tickets for the iconic festival go on sale this Friday the 17th March.
