Dua Lipa to Curate London Literature Festival at Southbank Centre

Pop superstar Dua Lipa is set to take on the role of curator for this year’s prestigious London Literature Festival, hosted at the Southbank Centre. Organizers have officially announced that the multi-award-winning artist will play a pivotal role in shaping the programme for the 19th annual festival.

The festival is scheduled to run from October 21st to November 1st. Lipa, through her popular Service95 book club, will particularly influence the events planned for the opening weekend and beyond, bringing her unique perspective to the literary celebration.

This exciting collaboration coincides with several significant milestones: the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary celebrations and the UK’s ongoing National Year of Reading. Her involvement promises to add a fresh and engaging dimension to this prominent cultural event.
