Dua Lipa is set to curate the 2026 London Literature Festival at Southbank Centre, marking a major crossover from music to the literary world. The Grammy-winning artist will lead the opening weekend on October 24–25 and contribute to events throughout the festival via her Service95 Book Club, launched in 2023. The festival, part of Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary and the National Year of Reading, will be its 19th edition. Through her platform, Dua has also spotlighted issues like censorship and limited access to books, adding a deeper social focus to her literary involvement.
