In a statement, Styles said: “Music is my life; every artist involved in this year’s Meltdown festival means so much to me, both as a fan and a musician. It’s a true honor to host legends who have paved the way for the generations that follow them, as well as new acts that have inspired me to push my creative boundaries.”
Set to run from June 11 to 21 at the Southbank Centre, the event reflects Styles’ wide-ranging musical taste, pairing established alternative acts with emerging voices across indie, jazz, electronic and pop. The artist is also set to headline the venue’s Royal Festival Hall during the festival.
Among the indie-leaning highlights are Stephen Fretwell, who will deliver a rare performance, alongside Dev Hynes (also known as Blood Orange), Orlando Weeks, Nilüfer Yanya, Bar Italia and Warpaint. Newer acts across the lineup include Bristol-based duo Getdown Services and in-demand Australian DJ and producer Ninajarichi.
The lineup also extends to jazz, featuring Kamasi Washington and Mulatu Astatke, alongside contemporary U.K. figures such as Yussef Dayes and Shabaka Hutchings.
Elsewhere on the bill, experimental pop acts Erika de Casier and Fousheé join ambient and electronic names such as Jon Hopkins, Beverly Glenn-Copeland and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, the latter being a key influence for Styles’ recent fourth LP Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
Further lineup details, including ticketing information for Styles’ own show at the Royal Festival Hall, will be announced soon.
Tickets for the rest of the lineup go on sale to Southbank Centre members at 10 a.m. BST on Thursday (April 9) via the venue’s official website. General sale will take place at 10 a.m. BST on Friday (April 10).
The former One Direction member joins a prestigious list of previous Meltdown Festival curators including the likes of The Cure’s Robert Smith, David Byrne, Grace Jones, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker and most recently, Little Simz.
Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally topped the Billboard 200 and the Official U.K. Albums Chart upon release on March 12, spawning a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with lead single “Aperture” and U.K. No. 1 single in “American Girls.” Styles is set to support the record with the Together, Together Tour later this year, kicking off at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam on May 16.
