Jarvis Cocker's Meltdown

16-23 June

" Culture should be a stimulant not a sedative. Hide beneath the duvet in your plasma screen, surround-sound, MP3-enabled crash pad if you like, but we will find you and we will wake you up. By combining things that shouldn't be combined, by looking at things from a different angle, by the use of extreme volume and frequencies - BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY - we shall rouse you from your slumber. And you're going to love it.

I am eternally grateful to all the artists who have agreed to contribute to this Meltdown. They're a disparate bunch, but they have one thing in common: they will make you think. Together we will make a week that you will remember for the rest of your life. Is that alright for yuz? "
