Patti Smith to host arts festival - BBC News
Excerpt:
...The 58-year-old US singer of Because the Night told The Observer newspaper that the festival would be her response to these "material, exploitative and greedy times".
"It is important we explore the new, but we should also salute the best art there is, aesthetically and spiritually," she said.
Last year's Meltdown festival, directed by the ex-Smiths star Morrissey, included appearances by singer Jane Birkin, Nancy Sinatra and playwright Alan Bennett.
He also persuaded punk band The New York Dolls to reform for a reunion show.
