It’s clearly going to be Harry Styles’ summer. In addition to that record-breaking run of shows at Wembley he’s playing, he’s also currently revelling in the role of taste-maker, by curating this year’s Meltdown Festival.
Meltdown is an annual event at the Southbank Centre in London where over a week a ‘culturally-significant’ artist puts together a programme to reflect their personality. Being asked to curate it is some honour, one bestowed previously on the likes of David Bowie, Patti Smith, Scott Walker and Nick Cave. Cultural heavyweights, in other words.
