Taking place on June 16, 2026, the one-night-only event in the Royal Festival Hall will feature Styles collaborating with the Jules Buckley Orchestra to present brand-new arrangements of his music.
As the curator of the 31st Meltdown festival, Styles chose to partner with previous collaborator and Grammy-winning composer Jules Buckley. Styles noted that the opportunity to do "something really beautiful" with Buckley at the Southbank Centre was the perfect fit for his curation.
The concert aims to sustain creative access for young people at a critical time. With UK councils spending 76% less on youth services than in 2010, the proceeds will support the Southbank Centre’s free and subsidized programs, such as Youth Voices and Creative Health, which serve over 25,000 young people annually.
