‘To be a part of this location, having seen so much music here, is a really exciting event for us.’

So excited was Django Django’s Vincent Neff to perform at the Southbank Centre, that he couldn’t wait until the band opened Christine and the Queens’ Meltdown in June 2023. Ahead of the festival the singer and guitarist joined us to record this special acoustic performance of ‘Come Down’ from Off Planet, Django Django’s fifth studio album, in an empty Royal Festival Hall.

‘We’re really excited to be invited [to perform]. We’ve all gone individually, as a band, to different Meltdowns over the years. It’s a big deal for us.
