@Various Venues 15 – 18/5 12pm
Founded in 2006 and featuring hundreds of bands from around the world in dozens of venues all over the city, The Great Escape has become an essential fixture on every music lover’s calendar. The concept is simple: one wristband will allow you access to the bands for three fantastic days. This is a great opportunity to catch up with old favourites or discover brand new artists as a huge range of genres are represented. From Aggrasoppar to Zoe Graham, you can guarantee you will see and hear something that you will like. For those of you within the music industry there is a great line up of guest speakers including Jarvis Cocker and seminars featuring the cream of executives, entrepreneurs, creators and innovators with networking opportunities aplenty. For those on a budget there is the Alternative Escape, three days of the best bands in various venues that is completely free.
