The Great Escape’s FIRST FIFTY Online Showcase continues as part of the festival’s ongoing FIRST FIFTY live launch, celebrating the world’s most exciting emerging acts ahead of their festival appearances next year. Tonight’s show is the second instalment of five special weekly online showcases, featuring a dose of DIY indie pop from Los Angeles’ Wallice, Atlanta pool-rockers Lunar Vacation, and a fusion of music and art from Dutch composer, singer songwriter, and visual artist Someone. The online showcase starts at 6PM and is available to watch via TGE’s new Twitch channe.
The FIRST FIFTY Online Showcase will continue to screen every Thursday until 16th December with acts including Maple Glider, Conchúr White, Adam Melchor, Alice Pisano, CV Vision, TEKE::TEKE, Ur Monarch, Sycco, DORA, and EFÉ.
Today’s showcase follows the first date of the FIRST FIFTY live launch, which saw a host of TGE artists including Deema, Priya Ragu, Lime Garden, Sipho, Miso Extra and more play across eight venues in East London, the first FIRST FIFTY Online Showcase featuring Gustaf, Kills Birds, Enumclaw, and Johanna Warren, and the first ever FIRST FIFTY show in The Great Escape’s hometown of Brighton, with Sam Ryder, Isabelle Brown and Brighton based singer songwriter HEIGHTS closing an epic first week of celebrations.
The Great Escape, the festival for new music, will be kicking off the 2022 festival season, playing host to more than 450 up-and-coming artists and hotly tipped talent across 35+ walkable venues, alongside the music industry led TGE conference, from 11-14 May 2022 in Brighton, England. Tickets for The Great Escape festival start from £70.
