Jun 2022
The 27th edition of the UK’s longest-running artist-curated music festival. For her line-up, Jones brings together artists from across the globe, including Solange, Peaches, Skunk Anansie and Baaba Maal.
We’re sad to say that the festival will not take place this year here at the Southbank Centre.
To play our part in stopping the spread of the virus, we have cancelled or postponed many events and festivals, including Meltdown.
However, we’re really pleased to let you know that we have rescheduled Grace Jones' Meltdown for June 2022. We hope to see you there.
One of the most recognised figures of contemporary culture, Jones has had an enduring influence on countless artists from Björk to Lady Gaga with her attitude of fierce individuality and fearless self-expression. She continues to perform globally, captivating audiences with her musicianship, extravagant outfits and wild performances.
Taking the world by storm as one of the first black supermodels in the early 1970s, she went on to release a string of acclaimed albums including Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing and Slave to the Rhythm. Her bold, androgynous image has made her a muse to artists and designers including Issey Miyake, Thierry Mugler and Andy Warhol.
