It’s almost that time again – the Great Escape weekend. The first 100 bands have been announced and it looks like shaping up to be our fave TGE in a few years. The first Dome show act is Kelis, bringing her milkshake to our yard for maybe the first time ever (correct us if we’re wrong).
Elsewhere Beautiful Boy, Royal Blood and Traams lead the charge for Brighton bands. Meanwhile we’re excited to see Dolomite Minor again, and Labyrinth Ear, an act we fell in love with about five minutes before looking at this list. Anyway, bugger all this preamble, you just want to look at the bands, right?
