Hot on the footsteps of her appearance at ATP, Yoko Ono is one of the acts scheduled to appear at this year’s Meltdown Festival, curated by Patti Smith.
“The festival will be held in June at the South Bank Centre in central London.
There are big ideas on show, glimpses of her mind. Smith will introduce a homage to Bertolt Brecht as well as using the poetry of William Blake as a theme. Her interpretation of his Songs of Innocence will showcase protest songs – with Sinead O’Connor performing – while Songs of Experience, which will draw on the work of Hendrix and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, will end the festival. Smith will mark the 30th anniversary of her debut album Horses by performing it in its entirety.”
