The Great Escape turns 15, is already awesome
Our favourite festival for new music, The Great Escape, will be taking over every nook and cranny of Brighton again this May, for an amazing celebration of up-n-coming artists from across the globe. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, this year’s TGE will be even more special, because they will be celebrating their 15th anniversary!
We’ve been to most of the previous years’ events and have seen some amazing gigs from the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Bastille, Courtney Barnett, Kaiser Chiefs, Shame, Stella Donnelly, Billy Bragg, MO, Kate Tempest, Confidence Man, Sam Fender and countless others.
This year’s festival promises to be equally memorable, with a whole host of awesome acts already announced and heaps more to follow. The latest announcement includes some crackers, including Mercury Award-nominated Ghostpoet, Ali Barter and The Jezabels’ Hayley Mary. There are 25 countries in this latest line-up announcement, including TGE’s lead partner country South Korea, with Balming Tiger, BIBI and Samuel Seo announced from this region so far.
