For many bands around the world, earning a spot on The Great Escape Festival in the UK means a great deal - you've got a huge load of exposure, the potential to discover new bands and of course, the opportunity to be discovered. In its 10th year in 2015, the Brighton-based festival releases a stellar line up of bands from around the globe, all set to descend on the site in May for what is touted as Europe's leading festival for new music.
Alabama Shakes was the first international name confirmed to play the Brighton Dome, while the likes of Django Django, Awesome Tapes From Africa and Tobias Jesso Jr are among the 150 artists recently announced. The Aussie swag of artists is also impressive - if you thought these guys were robbed of spots in the Hottest 100 on Monday, they're set to take their great tunes overseas and show the UK what's been cooking over here!
