		Well worth the wait (see previous Meltdown entry for what happened at Journeys last time when Andy hurt his back picking up his amp- heâs invested in a new one now by the way which is approximately the size of a box of Swan Vestaâs!).

		The festival includes world music from Tianariwen and Yat-Kha, the first ever live performance of Smith's Horses album, tributes to the likes of William Burroughs, Robert Mapplethorpe and Bertolt Brecht, arthouse and children's movies, plus many performances by conventional and avant-garde musicians.
		The beauty of last year's festival, curated by Morrissey, was that it was possible for punters to view every act.
		But his uncanny knack for penning accessible songs while transgressing musical genres from cocktail jazz to ragtime through to punk and metal would enable his popularity to reach interstellar heights in a world where pure talent and the ability to diversify was justly rewarded.

		The highlight of Meltdown, though, is the 25 June performance of Horses in its entirety and original sequence (something Smith has never done before), with a band that includes Television guitarist Tom Verlaine and the album's producer John Cale.

	Londonist: Patti Smith's Meltdown: Update
		Those of you going to or considering going to Patti Smith's Meltdown, taking place from 11th to 26th June at the South Bank Centre, will be as interested as Londonist Music to hear that Eels have (has?) been added to the line-up.
		One day before that, to kick off the festival, will be The Brian Jonestown Massacre (nothing to do with the late, great cricket commentator Brian Johnstone's fondness for cakes, as Londonist first thought), along with Ed Harcourt.
		There's so much quality in this festival we could go on forever but for the sake of brevity and our typing fingers, the line-up so far is below.
