‘And we cannot wait for Slaves to perform at the end of Brighton Palace Pier for what is going to be one of the biggest shows we have ever produced at the festival – it’s going to be one of those legendary “were you there” moments, no doubt about that. Roll on May!’
The Great Escape, which is sponsored by PRS for Music, PPL, Help Musicians UK and more, takes place from 18 to 20 May at various venues around Brighton.
