Ready to take to the stage for this year’s Brighton festival are some of the best emerging names in music, making The Great Escape the place for showcasing new talent. Joining the line-up are acts such as The Murder Capital, Hak Baker, Sorry, 86TVs, PVA, Divorce, and many more.
The Great Escape is known for its celebration of the burgeoning indie scene, showcasing upcoming alternative artists from around the world throughout the Brighton Lanes. It’s great to witness so many of today’s most promising players joining the roster for this hefty May weekend as it’s definitely a great way to kick off the 2023 festival season.
Some of our favourites fill out the alt/indie scene as we’re excited to see The Maccabees’ Felix and Hugo White’s new project 86TVs, the punk sensations PVA, and one of Glasgow’s greatest indie breakout stars of 2022, Dylan John Thomas.
With over 450 acts to see across 35+ walkable stations, TGE 2023 promises something for all and these new additions certainly don’t disappoint.
Tickets for The Great Escape festival start from £40 for a day ticket, £105 for the weekend and are on sale here.
