Great news about the next Meltdown festival in 2011 at the Southbank Centre – it's curated by Ray Davies.
The news was announced today, with Davies sorting out the line-up for a festival that will take place across the Southbank Centre site and 'reflect the diversity of his career and enduring influence'.
The full line-up isn't going to be announced before early 2011, with the event taking place in June 2011. But I'm willing to stick my neck out and say there's a strong chance of a Kinks reunion during the event. It would be the easy option for a one-off performance. Remember where you heard it first. Talking of hearing first, if you sign up to the mailing list of the event, you'll get prior notice of all bands playing.
Love Modculture? If you enjoy what you read or have benefitted from it and want to help with the ever-increasing costs of the site and newsletter, you can always buy me a coffee at Ko-Fi. Every penny is helpful and appreciated.
Busy time for Ray at the moment. Looking forward to seeing what he chooses for Meltdown.
