Fat White Family hit The Great Escape

It’s almost April. This means it’s almost May. Which means it’s almost time for The Great Escape. Yup, in only six weeks time every nook and cranny of Brighton will be filled with music, as a gazillion bands and thousands of punters come together for our favourite British festival.

As if we weren’t already excited enough, 100 brand new artists have just been announced, including the brilliant Fat White Family, as well as Snapped Ankles, Talk Show, Laura Misch and hotly-tipped indie-pop outfit whenyoung (new video, below).

This latest drop of artists join the already incredible drove of TGE19 acts including Aussie party starters Confidence Man, the frankly amazing Self Esteem, Cable Ties, Tropical Fuck Storm and Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, to name but a few.

Oh, and if you need more excitement in your life, a MASSIVE Spotlight Show is set to be announced next week. Access to this new show will be via stand alone tickets only and pre sale tickets will be available via the TGE mailing list only. You can join the TGE mailing list here.
