Be Charlotte, Emme Woods, Saint PHNX, Shogun, Spinning Coin, TeenCanteen, The LaFontaines and The Van T's will perform across two Showcasing Scotland concerts at The Great Escape.
The live showcases are supported by Creative Scotland and will take place on 18 and 19 May at The Great Escape 2017.
One of the most important platforms for new music in the world, the festival and music convention attracts over 3,500 key industry figures on the hunt for new talent, including high-profile festivals looking to book acts, agents, label executives, promoters, and media.
Alan Morrison, Creative Scotland’s head of music, said: 'Creative Scotland is delighted to be working closely with The Great Escape to present this year's showcases.
'Every May, the eyes and ears of the music industry turn towards Brighton, where the festival has become a fantastic springboard to launch emerging talent into European territories and beyond. The Scottish acts on the bill are at the top end of 2017’s ones-to-watch lists and cover an impressive range of styles and genres. This is a partnership that will deliver a tangible boost for music-making in Scotland.'
