The Great Escape Festival

The Great Escape is the festival for new music, showcasing 500 emerging artists from all over the world in 30+ walkable venues across the Brighton and a pop-up festival site on Brighton Beach. It’s the first place to discover your new favourite artist and see them in an intimate setting before they go on to headline major festival stages.

TGE is also attended by the music industry who are on the hunt for the next big thing. TGE run a conference alongside the gigs featuring insightful panels, topical debates, keynote speeches and networking opportunities in abundance.

The Alternative Escape, Spotlight Shows, secret gigs, club nights and spontaneous collaborations all add to the festivities and make this weekend in Brighton one not to miss. NW Live has been involved with The Great Escape for over 10 years providing key production support. For the past 5 years we have designed, built and managed the Festival Hub which features the festivals ticket exchange, delegate registration and BBC studios and performance space.
