Grace Jones has been confirmed as guest curator of London Southbank's Meltdown 2020. Her appointment follows her participation in Massive Attack's 2008 Meltdown, when she performed a two hour set at Royal Festival Hall. She also appeared alongside Nick Cave, Shane McGowan and others in a Disney song special curated by Jarvis Cocker.

“I am honoured to be curating next year’s Meltdown festival,” said Jones. “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. It’s about time I was asked to curate Meltdown darling, don’t you think?!”

Running from 12–21 June at various London Southbank venues, the line-up has yet to be announced.
