We don’t know about you, but we’re already counting down the days to this year’s The Great Escape.
After all, not only does it take place across the length and breadth of one of the greatest cities that this fine country has to offer – that’s Brighton, in case you were wondering – but it also boasts a seriously stacked line-up of some of the best new, emerging, and undisputedly awesome musical talent on the planet right now.
Now, fear not, dear reader. We know how overwhelming it can be to have such a packed bill staring you in the face and yet to only have a handful of hours in the day in which to catch them all. That’s why we’ve put together this handy list of the acts that you seriously can’t afford to miss at this year’s The Great Escape – after all, we wouldn’t want you to miss your new favourite band, would we?
