The Alternative Escape, numerous club nights, label parties, industry showcases, unique collaborations and outdoor gigs all add to the festivities.
"Think of it as Glastonbury by the sea." NME
"Unveiling the best music from across the globe, The Great Escape is essential for discovering the hottest new talent." The Fly
"This three day music festival and industry conference is Britain's answer to Texas's SXSW." TIME OUT
"TGE's USP is new music, so for the real spirit of things, you are best off hunting the smaller venues." XFM
The HUB
Launched in 2011 The Hub is based in the centre of Brighton at Jubilee Square and is the first TGE venue all 12,000 festival goers visit in order to collect their wristbands. From then on it becomes a great meeting place throughout the festival.
As well as the wristband exchange, we run a licensed bar at The Hub and an open air stage which is programmed with live music and DJs through out the day. We provide deck chairs for attendees to lounge on, while enjoying the shows and the atmosphere.
The Great Escape Convention
The Great Escape Convention takes place under one roof in The Brighton Dome. The programme runs daily between 10am and 5pm and consists of panels and debates for experienced music industry delegates, new music entrepreneur presentations, high end key note interviews, short Q&A sessions, case studies and educational workshops for new entrants to the industry. This runs alongside the festival and is attended by over 3000 delegates annually from across the globe.
Targeted networking sessions, parties and sponsored lunches are run every day giving delegates plenty of opportunities to form new business relationships and to catch up with established partners.
