Music, film, literature, theatre and performance will feature in the twenty-second edition of Southbank Centre Meltdown Festival which will be held in London from 17th to 30th August 2015 and will be curated by David Byrne. The genius and eclectic artist – who also created for the Festival in collaboration with the Saison Poetry Library, the “David Byrne’s library”, his reading lounge, a collection of over 250 of his personal books to read and borrow for free for getting an insight into the literary works that have shaped his thoughts and approach to music – will also feature in “We’re gonna die”, the performance of playwright Young Jean Lee who will be on stage – from 17th to 30th August 2015 at the Queen Elisabeth Hall – along with her band, the Future Wife. Another not to be missed happening is the musical-performance project by Bianca Casady (Cocorosie) who will perform on 17th and 18 August 2015 at the Queen Elisabeth Hall along with the band C.I.A and the dancer Biño Sauitzvy, with whom she has collaborated on several theatre pieces and many exhibitions. A smashing series of shows that include the live concert of the brilliant Anna Calvi(22nd August 2015) and many other artists, as Carmen Consoli( 21st August 2015) who is the only Italian artist featuring in the event.
