Patti Smith to curate Meltdown 2005
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver March 21st, 2005
Patti Smith is to curate this year's Meltdown Festival, held at the Royal Festival Hall on London's South Bank.

The event, which was curated by Morrissey last year, will run from the 11th of June until the 26th. Smith is yet to decide on a line-up, but has mentioned that she would like her festival to serve as a response to "material, greedy and exploitative times."

Smith was quoted in The Observer: "I never think in terms of labels. I just see rock as a raw art form that belongs to the people, but has the possibility of merging with poetry, politics, the spiritual and the revolutionary."

More information as we get it.
