Two free DJ sets specially chosen by Harry Styles will entertain thousands of people on the South Bank on Saturday and Sunday, as the grand finale of the Meltdown Festival caps off this weekend.
Harry Styles Dominates London in 2026
There's no doubt about it; Harry Styles is dominating the sound of London in 2026 with a staggering ten-date engagement at Wembley Stadium, much like Oasis's long awaited reunion concerts in 2025 and Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour the previous year.
For those unable to see the One Direction star himself, or for Styles' fans who just can't get enough, this year's Meltdown Festival is offering a creative window into the musician's mind.
Curator of Meltdown Festival
Harry Styles was chosen to be the curator of the music bash in 2026 as it enters its 31st year, following in the footsteps of previous curators Little Simz, Chaka Khan, Christine and the Queens, Grace Jones, Nile Rodgers and Robert Smith.
Both DJ sets will play on the riverside terrace of the Southbank Centre.
Saturday, June 20: Foundation.FM
On Saturday, June 20, from 2pm Foundation.FM - a London-based radio station, with a focus on female, queer and non-binary DJs - will be staging an eight-hour set on Level two of the Riverside Terrace of the Southbank Centre, entertaining hundreds of revellers. No tickets are required and the line-up will see DJ Manara at 2pm, followed by Drybabe at 4pm, Nadine Noor at 6pm and finally Noli at 8pm.
Sunday, June 21: Hourglass Disco
On Sunday, June 21, from 2pm, the Riverside Terrace will host the next item on Styles' agenda: 'Hourglass Disco'. The event will begin with DJ and producer Gayance, to be succeeded by Parisian party starter Louise Chen at 3.30pm, R&B and jazz singer-songwriter Yazmin Lacey at 5pm, iconic DJ band broadcaster Gilles Peterson and Bill Brewster at 8.50pm.
Meltdown Festival states: "Hourglass is a project born from the principle that music and climate action belong together. It brings that mission to our Riverside Terrace for a free, outdoor, battery-powered soundsystem event: the spectacular daytime finale to Harry Styles’ Meltdown."
The line-up has been brought together by Harry Styles and Gideön – a DJ and one of the masterminds behind Glastonbury Festival’s Block9 and NYC Downlow. Attendees are advised that Harry Styles will not feature at either event.
