The line up for The Great Escape Festival 2021 will be announced soon.
Great Escape Festival is the SXSW of the UK. TGE showcases over 400 up and coming artists from all over the world across 35 walk-able venues every May in Brighton.
The festival is famous for championing rising stars in a huge range of genres, from rock and indie to grime, hip-hop, and experimental electronic music.
The iconic coastal city of Brighton is taken over by the festival, as music venues, theatres, pubs, bars, pop-up stages and street corners play host to all manner of live music shows.
In addition to the live music shows, there is also a large industry presence at the festival with conferences and conventions attended by representatives from a variety of music publications, companies and labels.
