Massive Attack To Curate Meltdown Festival
Published Thursday, 14th February, 2008 at 11:26 AM
Massive Attack are to curate the Meltdown Festival this year, following in the footsteps of previous curators Elvis Costello, Morrissey and Patti Smith.
The event will be held on London's South Bank between June 14th and 22nd, although the line-up is not yet finalised - those acts set to perform are to be announced in the near future.
Speaking of their involvement, Massive Attack say: "It's an honour to host Southbank Centre's Meltdown Festival and to be in such inspiring company as its previous curators."
They add: "In addition to the music, we want this year's festival to have a strong political and visual element to it to reflect our influences and obsessions. Our aim is to mix it up a bit by instigating collaborations that make sense and probably some that don't."
More information on the event can be found at the Southbank Centre website.
Rumours are also flying around cyberspace that Massive Attack will be appearing at Glastonbury Festival this Summer.
