Pop superstar Harry Styles is set to deliver a unique orchestral performance at this year's Meltdown Festival in London. Following a whirlwind 2026 that included announcing a world tour, curating the festival, and releasing a new album, Styles will take the stage with the Jules Buckley Orchestra on June 16. This intimate show is a rare opportunity for fans to see the stadium-filling artist in a smaller venue. However, tickets are not sold through conventional means; instead, fans must enter a prize draw for a chance to secure a pair of seats.
Prize Draw Details
The prize draw allocates 1,900 seats, or 950 pairs. Each entrant can apply for one pair of tickets, and winners are selected at random. To enter, you must be a UK resident aged 18 or over. Entries cost £20 for one, £40 for two, or £60 for three entries. All proceeds support the Southbank Centre's charitable work with artists, young people, and communities.
