ARTIST registration for The Great Escape 2018 is now open.

Announced in conjunction with Sentric Music, the UK’s (and arguably the world’s) leading celebration for new music and emerging artists, the Brighton-based event is now accepting applications from any aspiring musician from across the globe.

A rite of passage for many prominent bands who’d go on to ignite the world stage, all you have to do in order to be in with a chance of playing in front of thousands of industry tastemakers and ardent music lovers is visit their official website and your music will be taken under consideration by their experienced booking team.

With the first 50 acts of this year’s festival already announced, competition is sure to be fierce so we’d advise getting an application in as soon as possible.

Last year, we teamed up with Creative Scotland to film special sessions with those Scottish acts who’d been handpicked for their Showcasing Scotland gigs at Brighthelm.

Filmed ahead of the bands undertaking the pilgrimage to the new music epicentre, watch our session with Emme Woods below now:
