Orlando Weeks
Music, visual art and storytelling collide in the songwriter, artist and author’s sonic tapestries.
First emerging as the frontman of the chart-topping band The Maccabees, the London-based songwriter, artist and author has built a distinctive solo career that showcases the depth of his creative instincts.
Orlando Weeks’ critically acclaimed musical output has been accompanied by his multidisciplinary creative practice. He’s exhibited his artwork and published a debut book, The Gritterman, cementing his reputation as a constantly evolving and assured artist.
More recently, Weeks has returned to the stage with The Maccabees for a series of performances that underline the band’s ever-enduring cultural resonance.
This appearance at Meltdown is Weeks’ only solo live performance of 2026. Join us for a rare opportunity to see him perform material drawn from across his solo catalogue, including A Quickening (2020), Hop Up (2022) and LOJA (2024), alongside wider selections of his other work.
Tony Njoku is an award-winning British composer, recording artist and multidisciplinary artist known for creating emotionally resonant, genre-blurring music paired with striking visual work. His distinctive fusion of electronic, ambient and classical music has positioned him as a bold and innovative voice in contemporary experimental music. His work explores sonic abstraction, raw emotion and deeply personal storytelling, earning critical acclaim from outlets including Pitchfork, Dazed and Clash.
