  • The first batch of names for this year's Meltdown festival in London have been confirmed. The nine-day event, which is being curated by UNKLE man James Lavelle, will run from June 13th through 22nd in and around the Southbank Centre. DJ Harvey will spin at the Spiegeltent in London Wonderground, and there will be live performances from UNKLE, Neneh Cherry and NYC no-wavers ESG, while Goldie will mark the 20th anniversary of the release of Timeless by performing the seminal record with the Heritage Orchestra. The festival has a focus on film, too: Max Richter's score to Waltz With Bashir will be performed live by the Philharmonia Orchestra, while Jonathan Glazer's Under The Skin will be screened with musical backing from Mica Levi and Orchestrate. More acts will be added to the bill over the coming weeks.
