Counting down to the big seaside extravaganza that is The Great Escape, with just six weeks to go a further 100+ acts have been revealed today.
After February's announcement, new names include one of the hottest properties in rock at the moment, Bristol five-piece IDLES will ensure wall-to-wall commotion with their raucous punk-rock. Joining them are Minneapolis’s masters of emo electro-pop NOW NOW, LA teen garage rockers The Regrettes, who combine a ferocious punk sound with irresistible hooks, and Naomi Scott - aka the Pink Power Ranger from the 2017 Hollywood reboot of the legendary superhero franchise - will bring her RnB vibes and emotionally charged lyrics to the festival.
Other highlights include Nashville’s Sophie Allison aka Soccer Mommy, and Insecure Men, made up of schoolmates Saul Ademczewski, formerly of Fat White Family, and Ben Romans-Hopcraft from Childhood. The notorious duo have created a beautiful and distinctive pop sound on a range of twisted subjects, and look set to intrigue and delight in equal measure.
The Great Escape will take place between May 17 - 19 at over 60 venues, with 500+ artists and a brand new festival site on Brighton Beach.
