David Byrne has been revealed as the curator for the Southbank Centre's Meltdown event 2015.
The Talking Heads co-founder will follow in the footsteps of Patti Smith, David Bowie and Yoko Ono by directing the 22nd Meltdown.
Discussing his game plan for the event, Byrne said:
"This is going to be exciting! I plan to invite performers I've seen – and I do get out – and others I've missed or have dreamed of seeing. It's going to be a bit of fun puzzle solving I imagine – seeing who's interested, who is available and what venues at Southbank Centre are appropriate. I really hope to find things that take this beyond sit-down concerts as well – but of course I'm speaking way too early as I'm still working on my wish list.
"Hoping that I get to stay in the Room For London, on top of the Queen Elizabeth Hall roof, for the whole time, but suspect that might be expecting too much."
Meltdown performances will take over London's Southbank Centre from August 17 to August 28.
