Speaking about this year's festival, Rodgers said, "In curating Meltdown I’m effectively creating my own live concert playlist of my favourite artists, new and old.

Alongside the incredible artists previously announced such as Eurythmics Songbook, KOKOROKO, SOPHIE and CHIC every night is going to be special."
