The weather is warming, the skies are clearing (temporarily), shops are drowning in Easter eggs – it can only mean one thing. Festival season is nearly upon us, and The Great Escape are preparing to kick things off in style by adding another 120 artists to their line-up.
Check out the full list of additions below, as they join the likes of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, itoldyouiwouldeatyou, and Haggard Cat for one of the UK’s most exciting weekends for new music.
The festival, which takes place from Thursday 9 to Saturday 11 May, will see more than 450 up and coming artists across a huge variety of genres make their way to Brighton – three-day tickets start from £75 and are available here, with one and two-day tickets also on sale.
