A Weekend with Yoko

13.06.2013 | Art , Blog , Culture | BY:

Stumped for inspiring weekend plans? Look no further than Meltdown Festival curated by the one and only Yoko Ono.

Kicking off with a concert by Yoko Ono Plastic Band and ending with a live performance of John Lennon and Yoko’s last album Double Fantasy, there’s lots of musicians, artists and events on offer in between.

Catch the likes of  Siouxsie and Julianna Barwick singing their tunes on stage, watch Peaches recreate Ono’s famous performance Cut Piece and pick up your copy of Rough Trade’s latest publication, Let’s Start a Pussy Riot. Alternatively see Kim Gordon and Bill Nace’s experimental project Body/Head in action, take in the poetry and music of Patti Smith or experience a special one-off show with Marianne Faithfull and Bill Frisell.

Meltdown Festival runs from 14-23 June at Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, SE1 8XX.
