We’ve Made A Playlist Of Our Favourite Artists From The Great Escape 2026’s Lineup

Do you want to go to the seaside?

Over the course of The Great Escape, we’re not quite sure why everybody wouldn’t want to go.

Not only does the Brighton three-dayer have a reputation for being one of, if not the, best new music festivals on the planet, but we’re struggling to think of anywhere else where you could watch some phenomenal, high-energy live bands and then be licking an ice cream on the beach within the space of five minutes.

And frankly, dear reader, that’s everything we’ve ever wanted here at One on One HQ.
