"The Southbank Centre's early summer festival Meltdown has long since established itself as a key date in London 's cultural calendar. Each year, the arts centre invites one celebrated artist to curate the festival, getting them to hand-pick a roster of their favourite musical talents and nightlife promoters to star across a two-week programme of gigs, participatory events and after-hours parties at the prestigious venue."
