ENHANCED PROFILE (WANT TO ENHANCE YOUR FESTIVAL PROFILE?)
The Great Escape is where you discover your next obsession before everyone else does. For four days every May, Brighton becomes ground zero for new music, with 450+ emerging artists taking over 30+ venues across the city. It's part industry showcase, part treasure hunt, you might stumble into the next Florence + The Machine playing a tiny pub, or catch a future Mercury Prize winner in a basement. Since 2006, TGE has been the UK's answer to SXSW, minus the corporate bloat. Forget headliners, here, everyone's on the come-up, and that's exactly the point.
