Faye Webster named as The Great Escape’s first Spotlight artist
If you’re feeling the winter blues, then console yourself that we can already start looking forward to next May, as The Great Escape has announced the first artist performing one of the festival’s Spotlight shows. And it’s one of Something You Said’s favourites.
Indie singer-songwriter Faye Webster will perform at the Brighton Dome Concert Hall on Friday 17th May. Spotlight shows will be via standalone tickets, by the way.
She will bring her unique blend of folk, indie pop, and R&B that was illustrated within her critically acclaimed albums Atlanta Millionaires Club and I Know I’m Funny haha to the festival.
Faye is no stranger to TGE, as she made her debut at the festival in 2019.
Meanwhile, celebrated US-Indian star Sid Sriram will top the bill at the BBC Asian Network Stage, and a further 26 artists have also been revealed to complete the festival’s ‘First Fifty’, featuring some of the most promising emerging artists that will be gracing The Great Escape in 2024.
These include Babymorocco, Picture Parlour, Big Special, Automotion, and Aysanabee, as well as Sid Sriram, Victoria Canal, Olivia Lunny, Sirens Of Lesbos and Aussies Battlesnake and Enola. See the line-up so far here.
TGE24 takes place around in sunny* Brighton from 15th – 18th May 2024. For tickets and information, visit greatescapefestival.com.
