Brighton’s premier new music showcase updates an already stacked lineup with over 90 names, including English Teacher and The Big Moon

Brighton’s The Great Escape is one of the annual hubs of the music industry. The incredible event showcasing the best in up-and-coming talent, surrounded by talks, panels and seminars, is located at various venues throughout Brighton, over thirty rooms each more intimate and personality-soaked than the one before it. The festival also boasts a myriad of secret sets, spread like wildfire via word of mouth and clever sleuthing, plus club nights and younger sibling The Alternative Escape.

Lineup additions include Billie Marten, Stone, Sad Night Dynamite, The Big Moon and English Teacher among many others. They join the already starlet-studded lineup, joining headliners Arlo Parks and Maisie Peters.

TGE are also partnering with LICKS Magazine to bring their name across the UK, with the first TGE Presents event commencing at Jimmy’s in Liverpool on March 3rd, headlined by Brighton’s own Lime Garden.
