The Great Escape Festival Tickets

For some The Great Escape is the true start of the festival season, as more than 350 bands and artists from all over the world descend onto Brighton’s sunny shores, as new music well and truly takes over.

The three day event has become known for showcasing a healthy mix of fresh and established talent, and this year is no different, with the likes of Skaters and Wolf Alice appearing alongside chart bothering acts such as Bastille, Everything Everything and Iggy Azalea, as shows taking place in pretty much every venue with a license throughout the coastal city.
