Christine and the Queens has been confirmed as curator for the 2023
Meltdown festival at the Southbank Centre.
The event includes ten days of music, arts and culture across the stages of the Southbank Centre, alongside free outdoor gigs, performances and activities across both weekends. The announcement comes as
Christine and the Queens prepares to perform at his sold out headline special at the Royal Festival Hall as new persona
Redcar.
“I will actually pick musicians that have some gut-wrenching quality, and I wish for all of us to stroll around in those ten days being rejuvenated by artistic gestures. Discoveries. The time Meltdown takes is quite exquisite, the abundance feels appropriately generous too. We need this for ourselves, art in the city, art for the citizen, collective catharsis, a wonderful purge of the soul. I hope you’ll enjoy this glorious edition and again, long live poetry that burns and musicians crazy and brave enough to keep going - they are shaping the emotions of the future. Let’s thank them all!”
