Since 1993 some of the world's most distinguished musicians have been the guest directors of Meltdown. From John Peel through to Massive Attack, via David Bowie, Patti Smith, Morrissey and more, Meltdown has given seminal artists the chance to pick their favourite artists to play and exhibit their work at Southbank Centre.
The New York Dolls reunited for Morrissey; Jeff Buckley played his final UK show at Elvis Costello's Meltdown; Nick Cave, Grace Jones and Pete Doherty sang Disney songs with Jarvis Cocker; Patti Smith performed 'Horses' in full for her Meltdown. This festival brings legendary artists to Southbank Centre for a very special week of one-off performances.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the festival, Meltdown 2013 will be curated by Yoko Ono and takes place at London's Southbank Centre between 14th and 23rd June.
