Harry Styles announces special London orchestral concert for charity

  • Harry Styles is set to headline London’s Meltdown festival in 2026, performing a unique orchestral show on June 16 at the Royal Festival Hall within the Southbank Centre, an event he has personally curated.
  • The singer will take to the stage with the Jules Buckley Orchestra, who will create new arrangements of Styles’ well-known songs, building on their previous collaborations for his latest album and upcoming “Together, Together” tour.
  • Styles expressed his excitement about working with Jules Buckley again, describing him as an incredibly talented and generous collaborator, making the Meltdown curation a perfect opportunity for a beautiful joint project.
  • The special event will also function as a fundraiser for the Southbank Centre’s charitable initiatives, which aim to support young people in the arts, with fans able to enter a prize draw for tickets at £20 per entry.
  • Styles joins a prestigious list of past Meltdown curators, including David Bowie and Patti Smith, and has also curated a line-up featuring indie band Warpaint, Belgian electroclash group Soulwax, and British singer-songwriter Nilufer Yanya.
