Massive Attack is BACK! They're curating this year's Meltdown Festival and have announced the line up. Highlights include George Clinton and P-Funk, 2 Massive Attack shows, Stiff Little Fingers, Gang of Four, Martina Topley-Bird, and Volume an interactive audio visual collaboration with Robert Del Naja, Neil Davidge and UVA.

Past curators have included Patti Smith, John Peel, Nick Cave, and Mr. David Bowie himself. Massive Attack sits in pretty esteemed company to be assigned the duty of curating the festival.

This will be the 15th Meltdown Festival, which takes place in Southbank Centre in London for 'nine days of concerts, DJ sets, talks, films, and visual art.'
