Harry Styles delivered a standout performance at the Meltdown Festival in London on June 16, backed by the Jules Buckley Orchestra. The show featured a cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic that many called the highlight of his solo career.
Styles, who is curating the 2026 festival, opened with a rare performance of “Boyfriends” from Harry’s House. He followed with “Two Ghosts” and the album’s title track, drawing emotional responses from the audience.
He closed the set with his own version of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Styles explained beforehand that the song had inspired one of his own tracks and spoke about the lasting power of music.
Getdown Services also performed at the festival that night. The duo paid tribute to Styles while joking about their invitation and played tracks from their recent releases.
Meltdown continues through June 21 with additional acts including Orlando Weeks and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy.
