MELTDOWN FESTIVAL 2019
Southbank Centre, London
GET set for the return of the longest-running artist-curated festival in the world, as Meltdown is back at London’s South Bank from August 3-11.
This time Meltdown is in the more than capable hands of musical maestro and producer extraordinaire Nile Rodgers — he of Chic fame — who’s been busy bringing together a smorgasbord of sonic delights.
Ready for a disco wonderland? Want some synth pop rap-rock? How about some R&B and funk/punk or a bit of pop or soul? It’s all there as Rodgers relies on his extensive contacts book to bring a hand-picked selection to the South Bank.
