Confidence Man bring the party to The Great Escape
With just over two months to go until The Great Escape 2019, another 100 acts have been added to the already damn impressive bill. Punters heading to Brighton for the three-day extravaganza of music, conferences and general awesomeness can catch performances from the likes of Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, Anna Calvi, Black Peaks, Du Blonde, Leisure, Little Simz, Mini Mansions and Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, who will play at the brand new home of Fender at The Old Market.
Two acts that we are particularly excited about seeing are local heroes, Our Girl (who we interviewed shortly after last year’s TGE) and the fantastic Confidence Man, who have been a massive highlight of every festival they’ve played in their homeland of Australia. Make no mistake, if you are heading to this year’s Great Escape and want to get the party started, then look no further than Confidence Man, as they are sure to rip apart any venue they step into.
Austraila is always very well represented at TGE, and Confidence Man join a bunch of already-announced Aussies, such as Cable Ties, Tropical Fuck Storm and The Jungle Giants, to name a few.
