Brighton’s The Great Escape (TGE) Festival is coming to East London to showcase new talent over three days of live gigs.
The FIRST FIFTY takes place 22-24 November across five venues with the likes of Ray BLK (pictured), LA Salami, Cabbage and Shitkid all among the artists performing.
Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, The Old Blue Last, Kamio, Zigfrid von Underbelly and The Courtyard Theatre will all play host to shows.
Rory Bett, Mama Festivals chief executive officer, said: ‘Over the last 11 years TGE has been providing the soundtrack to our future with over 3,750 artists showcasing in Brighton and the announcement of the FIRST FIFTY previews the next wave of artists set to go down in TGE history. No other festival out there launches in this way with 10 live gigs and the best thing is that this is just the start, we’ve still got another 400+ bands to announce in the new year!’
FIRST FIFTY gives a first look at acts destined to take TGE 2017 and next year’s festival season by storm. The event is supported by a range of media partners: DIY, CLASH, London In Stereo, Amazing radio, Communion as well as BBC Music.
TGE consistently champions the best and brightest new talent and has supported many of the headliners of today in their early careers, including the likes of Adele, Ed Sheeran, Christine & The Queens and Wolf Alice. At TGE 2016, the likes of Let’s Eat Grandma and Lady Leshurr began summers that set the UK live music scene ablaze with intimate gigs at TGE.
