God, we love The Great Escape.
After all, what’s not to love? It’s a four-day-long celebration of the best and brightest new music from all corners of the globe, nestled throughout a series of world-class independent music venues, and all in a British seaside town so picturesque, you’ll be half-tempted to send your Nan a postcard while you’re there.
Unfortunately for your Nan, though, you probably won’t have time to do that. After all, you’ll be too busy delving into the veritable plethora of top-notch artistés that the The Great Escape team have so lovingly assembled for your sonic pleasure from May 14th to 17th.
You’ve probably already read us telling you all about how Peter Doherty, Aaron Rowe, Rizzle Kicks, Aqyila, Balancing Act, and a whole host of other hotly-tipped newcomers will be heading to Brighton for this year’s instalment. But did you spot that they’ve just added another bunch of banging bands and stupendous solo artists to the line-up for The Great Escape 2025?
You didn’t? Well, scroll on, dear reader, and discover our picks from this latest bunch of acts who you can look forward to seeing in the venues of Brighton at this year’s premier new music extravaganza.
