Grime star Stormzy heads the list of artists playing The Great Escape next month, as the new music festival celebrates its tenth birthday.
Part industry showcase, part gig crawl, the number of acts coming to Brighton for The Great Escape is typically monumental: over 400 at last count, including Craig David, Mystery Jets and Band Of Skulls (see the full list below).
With less than four weeks to go, tickets for The Great Escape are disappearing fast and wristband top-up tickets for Thursday and Friday’s Spotlight Shows have already gone. The last batch of three-day festival passes (£65), day tickets, young persons’ tickets (ages 16-17) and separate tickets for Stormzy’s Saturday night Spotlight Show at the Dome are still on sale at time of writing.
Other attractions at the festival in its anniversary year include a new cinema programme in partnership with Raindance Film Festival, the return of the Brighton International Label Market (with record labels selling their releases on stalls along New Road and Jubilee Street) and the ever-growing, mostly free-entry for all, Alternative Escape strand (seek out and find the likes of Carl Barât & The Jackals and Rolo Tomassi playing in a bar near you).
