FKA Twigs is set to headline and curate next year’s Meltdown festival at London’s Southbank Centre.
First held in 1993, the annual event sees a new cultural figure curate 10 days of concerts and performances across the site’s venues.
Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, said: “I am honoured and excited to be curating Meltdown at the Southbank Centre.
“The potent artistic and cultural landscape in London has raised me from Croydon College, to performing in underground cabaret clubs, dancing till sunrise in warehouses on the docks and last year being lucky enough to sing my operatic songs in one of the largest arenas in London.
“The cultural and artistic clash in this city is like no other.
“Where cultures, sounds, stories and traditions from all over the world meet, collide and transform one another.
“I intend to bring you a slice of all that has raised me and continues to inspire me: celebrating the diversity, freedom and creative energy that I believe makes London one of the world’s great capitals of music and the arts.”
Her recent albums, Eusexua and Eusexua Afterglow, were both released in 2025 before her Body High Tour finished in June.
Other features of the 2027 season at the Southbank Centre include Italian playwright Romeo Castellucci staging his first London show in 16 years with the play Bros, plus a recital by Chinese pianist Lang Lang.
Mark Ball, artistic director of the Southbank Centre, said: “We’re living through a time where people are feeling increasingly isolated and divided, and I genuinely believe live, shared experiences are the most powerful remedy we have.
“That conviction sits right at the heart of our 2027 season.
“When we gather together to experience great culture together, we build community, where our heartbeats synchronise, our spirits lift, and we are reminded of our shared humanity.”
