The Great Escape rounds up another 100+ artists





Words: Ellie Ward

With eight weeks to go until buckets and spades are packed for another three days of fun in Brighton, The Great Escape today unveils a further flurry of artists for the festival's 2018 edition.

Brighton’s very own boisterous six-piece The Go! Team, Alma, the Finnish powerhouse known for her extraordinary soulful voice, Arab electronic hip-hop supergroup 47SOUL, punk rockers Milk Teeth, Cassia, Husky Loops, Marsicans, Lady Bird, Pip Blom, Plaza, Pretty Vicious, Swimming Girls, White Room and South London rapper Ms Banks are amongst those announced today who will be performing at the festival which takes place between May 17 - 19.

They join the likes of previously announced Superorganism, Tom Grennan, Erol Alkan, Bad Sounds, Himalayas, Goat Girl, Japanese Breakfast, Gender Roles, Honey Lung and Trampolene.

Festival booker Adam Ryan said: “We’ve been inundated with artists wanting to showcase, more than ever before, the bar has been raised and as a result we’ve curated a line-up of artists who will no doubt set the music agenda for the rest of the year. This year’s festival is going to be the best Brighton has ever seen; with our brand-new beach venue and even more artists to announce in the coming weeks, it’s set to be the biggest year yet.”
