About The Great Escape 2007
The Great Escape aims to help rising acts break into new markets in other countries - as well as give festival fans a taste
of what's to come in new bands tents over the coming summer.
Now in its second year, more than 100 gigs will take place
in around a dozen venues throughout Brighton City Centre. Last year, relative unknowns such as The Sunshine Underground and
Tapes'N'Tapes kicked off their summers in the seaside town.
Organisers hope to emulate the success of the American
festival SXSW and The Netherlands' EuroSonic, which both act as live showcase platforms for breaking artists as well as networking
weekends for the music business.
There will be talks, interviews and seminars with leading figures from the industry.
Despite the event's 'industry' nature, thousands of tickets will be made available to music fans and bought on a per-gig basis
or as an all-encompassing festival ticket.
