If the first lot of artists announced for this year's Great Escape wasn't enough to get you in the mood for a jolly old jaunt down to the seaside, then the next batch should hopefully tempt you a little bit more. This year's event takes place from May 13-15 across a variety of wonderful venues in Brighton. An umbrella and mac would be advisable, in truth.
Announced now for the three-day event are:
Wild Beasts Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster Band Of Skulls Stornoway Lonelady White Rose Movement Seun Kuti Canterbury The Boy Who Trapped The Sun Summer Camp Think About Life Jim Jones Revue Codeine Velvet Club Hook & The Twin Young Guns John & Jehn Lucky Soul Birds Of Tokyo Chicken Hawk Chief Lauren Pritchard Kassidy North Atlantic Oscillation Bo-Ningen Larissa McKay John Smith
They join this lot:
Delphic Chase & Status Broken Social Scene Marina & The Diamonds Esben & The Witch Ellie Goulding Crystal Fighters Slow Club Cold Cave Hurts Japandroids Real Estate Timbre Timbre Darwin Deez Best Coast The Cheek Wild Palms The Ruby Suns
We also have our own stage this year. We'll let you know who we've got lined up, we promise. Tickets are priced at a bargain £45 for all three days and can be bought from here.
