Once a year, London’s Southbank Centre locks down a big name to headline and curate its Meltdown Festival, and the big name usually puts together a lineup full of semi-obscure cult favorites and ascendant fringe acts. In the past, that role has gone to legends like David Bowie, Scott Walker, Patti Smith, Yoko Ono, Robert Smith, and Grace Jones. Last year, UK rapper Little Simz was in change of Meltdown. This year’s Meltdown curator is Harry Styles, one of the biggest pop star on the planet. He has risen to the occasion.
