THE GREAT ESCAPE

Brigton festival announces first line up for 2013

Since it's foundation in 2006 The Great Escape Festival has been among the best places to witness emerging bands DJs and artists before they blow up.

Returning for its eighth year in Brighton from Thursday 16th – Saturday 18th May the festival will invade over thirty venues around the creative hub of the city.  

The festival maybe filled with jangling indie guitars and ferocious punk screams however in the midst of this the are some electronic acts on the verge of a breakthrough alongside some established players

Supporting the sounds of the ones and twos include the innovative electro take of the London duo AlunaGeorge.

Less of a new artist, more the of a royally reconsigned reggae hero that is David Rodigan will be delivering his ultimate playlist of the finest dub vibes, with a winning smile!

The rap rave tendencies of Srufizzer represents the grimier side of things whereas the the dreamy Scottish charms of the Electro pop trio Chvrches will offer a calmer tone.

The Great Escape will bring the best new dance music from all around the world and is the perfect start to the major festival season.

Escape to Brighton for the best in daytime raves and then roll along the sea front to sample some of its evenings darker delicacies.
