Final batch of bands added to Great Escape line-up, headed by Skepta and JME
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 26 March 2015
The final of the big Dome Shows has been announced for this year’s Great Escape festival, the tenth anniversary edition that takes place in Brighton from 14-16 May. And with Skepta and JME joining the bill, alongside other big Dome Show acts Alabama Shakes and Kate Tempest, it’s set to be one hell of a party for that tenth birthday.
And across the board over 400 great bands will play over the three days, including established names like The Cribs and Gaz Coombes, but crucially hundreds of exciting new acts too, the best of British music ready to break into territories abroad, and international talent galore looking to build an audience in the UK and the rest of Europe. The full list of bands added to the bill today is below.
The Great Escape festival, of course, sits alongside the convention for music business professionals, which this year includes four full-day conference strands as part of CMU Insights @ The Great Escape, including Spotify keynoting on music marketing in the streaming age, and BASCA boss Vick Bain leading the ‘digital pie debate’ in a licensing-themed strand. Elsewhere Blur’s Dave Rowntree will inspire future talent as part of the CMU:DIY day.
