The Great Escape has built a reputation for showcasing the best in new music, all from its pop-up festival site on Brighton Beach. TGE also includes performances in over 30 walkable venues across the city. The festival is also attended by leading voices in the music industry and boasts conferences, panel discussions and keynote speeches.
This year’s keynote speakers include musician, broadcaster, Chair of BPI and Chair of Youth Music Yolanda Brown; the Ivor Novello award-winning songwriter, producer and PRS Members’ Council President Michelle Escoffery; and promoter and Afro Nation co-founder Smade.
Maisie Peters, one of this year’s Spotlight artists, will headline the Brighton Dome Concert Hall on Friday, May 12th. The next day, Arlo Parks will take to the stage – though tickets for that performance are now sold out.
To access Spotlight shows, you can purchase a standalone gig ticket for guaranteed entry, or if you have purchased a three-day festival ticket, you can register for a chance to win a free ticket, which will be made available on a first-come-first-served basis.
Featuring over 500 + artists, this year’s Great Escape Festival is set to celebrate some of the world’s most exciting upcoming artists. To be in with a chance of catching it all, head over to the TGE website to see its ticketing options.
