Massive Attack's Meltdown

Massive Attack have announced the full line-up of musical treats for Meltdown, which this year they are curating, in June. As you would expect from the band, they've arranged a really mixed and diverse festival. From the melancholic rock of Elbow, to the jazz of Terry Callier, legendary post punks Gang Of Four and a reggae evening headlined by longtime collaborator Horace Andy.

And of course, Massive Attack will be playing a couple of dates themselves. I'm hoping to go along to at least one date.

The full-line up:

Massive Attack - Royal Festival Hall (June 14)
Gong - Queen Elizabeth Hall (June 14)
Yellow Magic Orchestra - Royal Festival Hall (June 15)
Reggae Acoustic Songbook: Horace Andy, Johnny Clarke, Earl 16 and Prince Malachai - Queen Elizabeth Hall (June 15)
