Hourglass Disco
Cap off Meltdown at a free day party with a brilliant line-up curated by Harry Styles and Gideön (NYC Downlow), featuring Gilles Peterson.
The kind of marathon we love: eight hours of disco, funk, house and soul from some of the best DJs and musicians in the business.
Keeping your spirits high all day are Parisian party starter Louise Chen; DJ and producer Gayance, known for their jazzy-house and Afro-Latinx blend of sounds; soul, R&B and jazz singer-songwriter Yazmin Lacey; and one of the UK’s most iconic DJs and broadcasters, Gilles Peterson.
Hourglass is a project born from the principle that music and climate action belong together. It brings that mission to our Riverside Terrace for a free, outdoor, battery-powered soundsystem event: the spectacular daytime finale to Harry Styles’ Meltdown.
The line-up has been brought together by Harry Styles and Gideön – a DJ and one of the masterminds behind Glastonbury Festival’s Block9 and NYC Downlow.
Hourglass Disco and its sister late-night event, Hourglass Techno, are partially powered by sustainable energy.
Please note, Hourglass Disco does not feature Harry Styles.
