Another tranche of artists have been announced for this years The Great Escape Fesival, these include: EVERYTHING EVERYTHING.   Having already performed at The Great Escape in 2010, the Manchester band will make a triumphant return to storm the Brighton Dome in 2013, the festival’s biggest stage.

This year’s festival also welcomes back KLAXONS, who will perform long-awaited and anticipated new material. Debuting in 2005, winning a Mercury Prize in 2007 and going from nu-rave to nu-metal, TGE festival-goers will be some of the first to hear the third regeneration of one of the UK’s most forward thinking bands. 

Joining a line-up studded proudly with artists returning to the festival - showcasing The Great Escape’s knack of picking acts with promising futures – is the latest installment of the freshest sounds around. Artists added to 2013 programme today include pop royalty-in-waiting A*M*E, 21st century soul singer LULU JAMES, beat-breaking ‘new’ old-school champions RDGRLGRN, post-hardcore outfit THE BLACKOUT and the effortlessly sprightly GIRLS NAMES. Also heading to the seaside this May is Parisian alt-electro trio WE WERE EVERGREEN, Camden alt-indie quartet TRIBES, psychedelic songstress MARY EPWORTH and raw garage-rock duo DEAP VALLY, who will blow audiences away and amplifiers out.
