coming along. I think people are responding to the possibility that a COVID-19 vaccine might mean that the cases of those infected is low enough by the summer so that festivals can go ahead. One of the best festivals and events that showcases new and rising artists is The Great Escape. As this article from CLASH explains, there are some great names already on the bill:
“The Great Escape have announced the First Fifty names for next year's event.
The colossal south coast new music event was paused in 2020, as the pandemic shuttered the live music industry.
Looking to return in 2021, The Great Escape have outlined the first fifty names for their new edition.
Arlo Parks will perform, alongside pop rsier Holly Humberstone, and the colossal East London force Bree Runway.
Pa Salieu will appear at The Great Escape, BERWYN, 220 Kid, Mae Muller, and more.
The press note from The Great Escape cites the new vaccine developments, while also referencing encouraging news surrounding mass test and trace systems.
Hoping for a "full capacity" event, tickets can be found HERE.
Alongside this, The Road To The Great Escape will seemingly be stopping off in Glasgow (May 8th - 9th) and Dublin (May 10th - 11th).
Line up for those events includes BERWYN, Baby Queen, Oscar Lang, Remi Wolf, Chubby And The Gang, and more.
The Great Escape runs between May 12th - 15th”.
In honour of The Great Escape naming the First Fifty artists who will play next year, this Lockdown Playlist features songs from most of the artists announced. If you need some guidance regarding some exciting artists worth keeping an ear out for then dig into…
