We've got one pair of tickets to give away to the Kim Gordon, Bill Nace and Ikue Mori collaboration next week

Body/Head, Kim Gordon and free-noise guitarist Bill Nace's experimental duo, will be playing this year's Yoko Ono-curated Meltdown festival on June 20.

For the performance, they'll be joined by Japanese no wave musician Ikue Mori, who will add drum kits to the two dissonant guitars and Kim Gordon's haunted vocals - have a watch of a video from the band's live show last year:

The festival, taking place at the South Bank Centre in London from June 14-23, also features Siouxsie, Iggy And The Stooges, Savages, Immortal Technique, Patti Smith, Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto, Marianne Faithfull & Bill Frisell and Boy George among others - for full details, head to the festival's site and have a look at its trailer at the foot of the piece.
