Perhaps better known for its quirky indie-stars and commercial up-and-comers, this year’s Great Escape Festival has taken a heavier turn with today’s announcement.
Black Foxxes, Boy Jumps Ship, Eagulls, Halo Tora, Reigning Days, Shvpes, Astroid Boys and Swmrs are just some of the names among the throng of bands.
They will join hundreds of others across various venues in Brighton between the 19th and 21st May 2016, including Shura, Mura Masa, Dagny and Dilly Dally. The Spotlight Shows, previously the Dome shows, are headlined by Oh Wonder, Songhoy Blues and Stormzy.
