We're so excited to finally share the programme for Southbank Centre's London Literature Festival 2026, curated by Dua Lipa and the Service95 Book Club. This year's line-up brings together some of our favourite voices: icons like Patti Smith, Zadie Smith and Mustafa, to the writers, poets and thinkers shaping the conversations we can't stop having. Here's a taste of what's to come: 📚 Translated Fiction Showcase – the fiction you need to know about, featuring Samanta Schweblin (Argentina), Nelio Biedermann (Switzerland), Gaël Faye (Rwanda) and Intan Paramaditha (Indonesia). 📚 Fierce Sounds – an evening exploring rhythm, form and sound in writing with Kae Tempest, Omar Musa, Sufiyaan Salam and Jacqueline Crooks. 📚 Rewriting Male Tenderness - with Caleb Azumah Nelson and Tomasz Jedrowski. 📚 Nadia Murad – the activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner in conversation. 📚 Service95 x English PEN: Censorship Live! hosted by journalist and broadcaster Oliver Bullough.
