Dua Lipa has announced the lineup she curated for the 2026 London Literature Festival, which will run from Oct. 20 through Nov. 1 at the Southbank Centre, according to Billboard.
The festival is the latest project tied to her Service95 Book Club, which launched in 2023 and includes monthly reading picks and an author interview podcast. In a statement, Lipa said she wanted to create a program that brings together well-known names and emerging voices from around the world.
Lipa is scheduled to appear in conversation with several guests during the event. On Oct. 24, she will speak with British author Zadie Smith about her novel White Teeth, and that same day she will also take part in separate discussions with Sudanese-Canadian poet Mustafa and punk-rock icon Patti Smith on Oct. 25.
Other planned appearances include British rapper and musician Kae Tempest, as well as authors Malorie Blackman and Hernan Diaz. Tickets are on sale now through the Southbank Centre’s official website.
The guest curation comes as the Southbank Centre marks its 75th anniversary. Billboard noted that Harry Styles also curated the venue’s Meltdown Festival earlier this year.
