Dua Lipa will curate the upcoming London Literature Festival at the Southbank Centre, featuring prominent figures like Zadie Smith, Patti Smith, and Mustafa. The festival, celebrating its 19th year, is scheduled from October 21 to November 1, 2026, and is part of the venue's 75th anniversary celebrations.
Watch for how Dua Lipa's influence shapes discussions at the festival, particularly around themes of censorship and advocacy for literature. The festival's free family events could also engage a younger audience, fostering a new generation of readers.
