"It’s about time I was asked to curate Meltdown darling, don’t you think?!” - Grace Jones

Grace Jones is set to curate the 2020 installment of London festival Meltdown. The music and cultural event, spread across nine days, will take place at the Southbank Centre. In a statement, the music, fashion, and cultural icon said: “Year after year, the festival continues to spread its colourful wings, allowing its curators to bring together an array of diverse talent not seen anywhere else.
