Info
On 11 November 2026, The Meltdown bring their Melbourne-bred soul to The Caves in Edinburgh, leaning into the slow-burn side of the genre without turning it into a retro exercise. Built around singer and keyboardist Simon Burke, the band works a warm mix of 1960s soul DNA, country-soul and gospel shading, carried by careful arrangements rather than big gestures.
Expect songs that take their time: ballads with a narrative pull, a rhythm section that stays tight and understated, and brass lines—saxophone and trumpet—that color the edges instead of stealing the spotlight. With the moodier, road-worn writing heard on albums like The Meltdown (2017) and It’s A Long Road (2023), this show is about groove, voice, and atmosphere, the kind that fills a room and lets the details land.
