The Great Escape takes place in Brighton. The full line-up will be announced soon enough. Happily, the first fifty acts will be announced next week (on Wednesday 15th). It is a chance to follow some of the brilliant rising acts who will play a hugely important festival next year:
“The 2024 festival season starts here!! The Great Escape’s FIRST FIFTY live launch is back to showcase some of the most exciting new artists around. The acts announced will give a first glimpse of the ground breaking talent lined up to play TGE 2024 next May.
This year’s First Fifty live launch will consist of an evening of live showcases in and around East London on Wednesday November 15th, celebrating the announcement of the first acts playing at next year’s festival”.
One of the great things – among many others – about playing at The Great Escape (or TGE) is that these are artists predominantly who are coming through and will be playing big stages very soon. You get to see an array of hugely promising musicians on the cusp of breaking to the next level. A rich and varied bill means that you have this balance and diversity – which many other festivals lack. To celebrate the forthcoming announcement of their First Fifty and the upcoming showcase, where tickets are still available, I am finishing with a playlist featuring the acts who are performing live on Wednesday. I will do another TGE feature when the full line-up has been announced. I just wanted to direct people’s attention to the upcoming first taste of the fifty who will be announced – and I may well do a playlist of those fifty too. These are the artists who are playing in and around East London on Wednesday in anticipation of those who will rock The Great Escape…
IN May.
