Harry Styles headlines the Meltdown Festival at London's Southbank Centre with a career-spanning orchestral performance, featuring covers of Simon & Garfunkel and Patrick Watson, while also launching a Wembley Stadium residency that includes personal reflections and tributes to David Hockney and his One Direction past. The event draws attention from artists like Warpaint, Kamasi Washington, and Shabaka, and marks the first release in 16 years from The Durutti Column. Meanwhile, Styles shares personal anecdotes, including his Radiohead influences and a story about his virginity, during a separate appearance at the Ivors Awards.
