Meltdown Festival is an annual contemporary arts and music event held at London's Southbank Centre, uniquely curated each year by a different influential guest director. Since its debut in 1993, the festival has become one of the UK's most prestigious events, featuring diverse lineups handpicked by icons like David Bowie and Grace Jones.
