Great Escape Festival announces first 150 acts
10.02.2015
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, The Great Escape (TGE) festival has announced the first 150 acts of its line up. Topping the bill in Brighton, UK, will be southern soul-rock quartet Alabama Shakes, which will play one of the festival’s main Brighton Dome slots.
Other notable acts playing across 30+ venues in Brighton include experimental folk singer Soak, reflective LA-dwelling songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr., alt-punk BBC Sound of 2015 nominees Slaves, disarmingly emotive hip hop artist Loyle Carner and lovelorn electronic soul artist Dan Bodan. A plethora of genres and musical styles will be on show at the festival, which runs from 14-16 May this year. And 2015 sees festival organisers turn their attention back to the UK music scene, having previously partnered with countries across the globe to provide a platform for the freshest foreign talent. “As we celebrate the festival’s 10th anniversary, we feel it’s the perfect time to focus on the huge amount of brilliant, home-grown talent here in the UK,” said Festival Director Kat Morris.
UK-based acts performing in 2015 include Welsh indie-rock group Pretty Vicious, and London-based folktronica foursome Django Django.
