The Great Escape is the festival for new music, showcasing 500 emerging artists from all over the world in 30+ walkable venues across the city and a pop-up festival site on Brighton Beach. It’s the first place to discover your new favourite artist and see them in an intimate setting before they go on to headline major festival stages.

TGE is also attended by the music industry who are on the hunt for the next big thing. The Great Escape Conference runs alongside the gigs featuring insightful panels, topical debates, keynote speakers and networking opportunities in abundance.

The Alternative Escape, Spotlight Shows, secret gigs, club nights and spontaneous collaborations all add to the festivities and make this weekend in Brighton one not to miss.

Artists performing at The Great Escape in 2024 include Faye Webster, Tom Rasmussen, Picture Parlour, Babymorocco, Battlesnake, Gia Ford, Friedberg, Solaariss, The New Eves, Big Special, King Isis and many more to be announced very soon.
