Brighton’s The Great Escape has come to be known as the UK’s answer to SXSW; it being a city-centric festival across many smaller bar and club type venues, giving the spotlight to up-and-coming acts. Between 17-19 May, 2018 The Great Escape will be returning for the 13th addition, and today they have unveiled the first 50 acts that will feature on this year’s bill. It includes the likes of Bad Gyal, Hotel Lux, Katie Von Schleicher, King Nun, Stereo Honey, The Orielles and many more.
