The Great Escape’s First Fifty: Leading the Pack with Talented Acts

Anticipation for The Great Escape 2025 ignites as the FIRST FIFTY acts are unveiled, promising a dazzling showcase of burgeoning talent. Music enthusiasts, mark your calendars for 13th November 2024 – a day set to unfurl across eight East London stages, including the incomparable Shacklewell Arms, the chic MOTH Club, the eminent Oslo, the iconic Sebright Arms, the vintage vibes of Paper Dress Vintage, the raw Folklore, the charming Two Palms, and the classic The Victoria. Each venue poised to present its unique ambiance paired seamlessly with groundbreaking musical performances.
Guided by the beacon of indie music journalism, Dork descends upon Sebright Arms to curate an evening brimming with indie darlings – the likes of Chloe Slater, Cliffords, and The Stingrays. While Dork orchestrates that venue, the other venues sparkle with talents like Luvcat, Brògeal, RUBBII, Betty, Konyikeh, and many more, each ready to enrapture audiences with their eclectic performances.
Not merely content with showcasing incredible talents, The Great Escape spots ahead, revealing the Faroe Islands as 2025’s Lead Country Partner. In the words of Glenn Larsen from Faroe Music Export: “The Faroe Islands’ music scene has skyrocketed lately, making waves globally. It’s remarkable that such a petite, secluded nation overflows with musical prowess across various genres.”
As if the preliminary FIRST FIFTY weren’t enough to stir the soul, The Great Escape 2025 gears up to unfurl its magic from 14th – 17th May in Brighton’s vibrant city. Whether you’re a music aficionado or a casual listener, these First Fifty gigs are your pass to tomorrow’s headliners. Tickets are just a click away, so secure your spot and be part of the musical odyssey.
