Dua Lipa reveals lineup for her curation of London Literature Festival, in the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary year

Dua Lipa’s London Literature Festival will feature in-conversation events with Mustafa, Patti Smith and Zadie Smith alongside a host of events curated by the Service95 Book Club

The Southbank Centre today announces Dua Lipa’s London Literature Festival programme, taking place from Wednesday 21 October to Sunday 1 November, as part of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary year.

As part of her curation of London Literature Festival, Dua will be in conversation in the opening weekend with Zadie Smith (Saturday 24 October, 3pm), Mustafa (Saturday 24 October, 8pm), and Patti Smith (Sunday 25 October, 7.30pm) as well as curating a number of other events across the festival with her Service95 Book Club.

Commenting on her curation of the festival lineup, Dua Lipa said: “Curating the line up for the London Literature Festival with my Service95 Book Club has been a true joy and I’m so proud of the programme we have created. We’ll be joined by icons as well as emerging voices from across the arts the world needs to know. You will recognize some as friends of the book club, and others may be your first introduction, but ultimately, I wanted to create a space that brings together some of the most exciting writers, poets, and thinkers from around the globe. I’m looking forward to being both in-conversation and taking my seat in the audience at this iconic venue.”
