The trip-hop collective will pick the acts for the annual event, which takes place at London's South Bank between June 14-22.
Talking about their involvement with the festival, the band said: "It's an honour to host Southbank Centre's Meltdown Festival and to be in such inspiring company as its previous curators.
"In addition to the music, we want this year's festival to have a strong political and visual element to it to reflect our influences and obsessions.
"Our aim is to mix it up a bit by instigating collaborations that make sense and probably some that don't."
Elvis Costello, Morrissey and Patti Smith have all curated the festival in the past.
Massive Attack are rumoured to be headlining the Other Stage at this year's Glastonbury.
