Cullen Omori, Trudy and the Romance, Bleached play DIY’s The Great Escape stage tonight!

Buzztastic Brighton festival The Great Escape kicks off today, and we’ll be bringing you all the action.

This weekend, we’ve been handed the keys to Horatio’s, on Brighton Pier. Day one sees us hosting sets from ex-Smith Westerns charmer Cullen Omori, the very exciting Trudy and the Romance, hyped newcomer Declan McKenna, plus Bleached and Beach Baby.

Elsewhere at the fest, Craig David (blimey) plays an early-afternoon acoustic set, and there are must-see sets from Pumarosa, Shura and Spring King. See the full schedule here.

Get to our stage way before 7pm to avoid being stuck in a queue. Stage times below.
