The Great Escape 2013 has announced the first wave of artists that will be performing - with the list including the likes of Bastille, King Krule and The 1975.
The Brighton weekend will take place between 16-18 May and will host some of the biggest emerging talents across 30 different venues.
Festival Director, Kat Morris said: "The core aim of TGE is to champion new music, and it’s great to be in a position where we can give festival goers an exciting cross-section of new artists to engage with.
"In our eighth year we are completely focused on delivering another programme that wholly embodies this ethos, and our initial line-up is full of promise for this year to be one of our best to date.”
Following the release of their eagerly awaited debut album, Bastille will be playing one of the few shows to take place at the Brighton Dome.
This year's BRITs Critics' Choice Award winner, Tom Odell will also be playing as well as electro innovators AlunaGeorge and lo-fi pop trio Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
