Harry Styles Curates Meltdown Festival

0:00It's April 7. Welcome in. This is Music News today, where the industry meets AI. Harry Styles just dropped some fire news, stepping up to curate the 2026 Meltdown Festival at London South Bank Center. This iconic event runs from June 11th to 21st, showcasing his killer taste across Indy, Jazz, Electronic, and Pop. He's headlining the Royal Festival Hall himself, blending legends who shaped music with fresh talents, pushing boundaries. The line-up stacked with indie heavyweights like Dev Hines from Blood Orange, Nilo Freyanya, and Warpane, plus rising stars such as Get Down services. And Nina Hadici. Jazz gets love from Kamasi Washington, and Malatu Astakine, while Electronic vibes come via John Hopkins and James Murphy of LCD Sound System. Fans are buzzing because Styles joins an elite crew of past curators, think Robert Smith from The Cure, David Byrne, Grace Jones, Nick Cave, and Little Sims.

1:01It's a nod to his influences, especially after his latest album Kiss All the Time, disco occasionally top charts worldwide back in March. More acts and tickets for his headliner show drop soon. South Bank members snag theirs, Thursday, April 9th at 10am. BST, with General Sail Friday, April 10th at the same time via the venue site. Styles hits the road later this year on his together-together tour, starting May 16th in Amsterdam, so this best of all is the perfect warm-up too. Keep the momentum rolling.
