There’s been a move to London by the organisers of Brighton’s Great Escape festival for a brand new gig series.
“Over the last 11 years The Great Escape has been providing the soundtrack to our future with over 3,750 artists showcasing in Brighton and today’s announcement of the FIRST FIFTY previews the next wave of artists set to go down in TGE history,” Mama Festivals CEO Rory Bett says.
“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 will initially take place at the Kamio, Courtyard Theatre and Old Blue Last venues in London this November, introducing new talent for Great Escape. To start with, these include James Hersey, Hannah Georgas, Be Charlotte, Tigertown, Drones Club and L.A. Salami.
