The Great Escape Festival is a four-day music festival held in Brighton and Hove, England every year in May. It is operated by MAMA Festivals and showcases new music[1][2] from a variety of genres. The festival was founded in 2006 and hosts roughly 500 bands across 30 venues throughout the city.[3] It has been likened to South by Southwest.[2][3][4]

There is also a music industry convention section to the event,[2] which is attended by over 4000 delegates. The 2011 to 2022 conferences have been programmed by the team from music industry publication CMU.

Anna B Savage, 2023

In addition to the main festival, there is also The Alternative Escape, a further strand of 'unofficial' shows.

There was no event in 2020, and the festival was held in 2021 but was entirely online, both due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

Coach Party, 2023

In 2024, over half of the lineup signed an open letter to the festival to drop Barclaycard as a sponsor[6][7] due to its involvement in the supply of arms to Israeli military forces.[8][9] Over 163 bands pulled out of the festival in protest, resulting in the opening showcase being cancelled.[10][11]
