We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. We bloody love The Great Escape.
After all, what’s not to love? Not only is it a fantastic excuse to spend a few days in the never-less-than-lovely confines of Brighton, but they also have a handy habit of booking some of the world’s best new and emerging musical talent to fill the city’s venues over the course of a few glorious days in May.
Speaking of which, they’ve just gone and revealed the second wave of this year’s line-up – and we think that it’s shaping up to be one of the best years yet. With over 100 names announced, we appreciate that it might be a bit overwhelming for you to try and check them all out.
So, we’ve taken the liberty of hand-picking a few favourites from the line-up so far and popping ’em in a handy list for you to consume at your leisure and pleasure. Because we’re nice like that.
