The Great Escape, multi-venue across Brighton, 14th-17th May 2025

It’s getting rapidly closer to that time of year again when a multitude of artists spanning genres and styles descend on the streets of Brighton for The Great Escape. With line-up additions still dropping, this year’s list is looking very, very good, and the announcement of the new Billboard UK Live Stage comes with a whole host of talented acts, featuring recent Mercury winners English Teacher headlining.

With the latest bunch of names added, the bill now includes some big recommendations from us in Adult DVD, Maria Uzor, WELLY, Ashaine White, Black Fondu, one of last year’s highlights Peter Xan, and delighted to see Polite Bureaux on there – with a big following in Brighton theirs will be a set not to miss.

Confirmed spotlight shows are scheduled for Peter Doherty, Warmduscher, Trampolene and Rizzle Kicks.

We’ll be taking a closer look at what’s to come over the pending weeks, in the meantime find the full line-up, more information and ticket links here. Catch you by the seaside…
