The Great Escape announce Rizzle Kicks for 2025 Spotlight Show

The Great Escape have unveiled Rizzle Kicks as the first act playing a Spotlight Show at the festival next Spring - a gig that will see the duo return to their hometown to headline Brighton Dome Concert Hall on Friday 16th May. 

It’ll be the pair’s first appearance at the renowned showcase festival since 2011, following their triumphant return to music with August’s comeback single ‘Javelin’ and recent follow-up ‘Gumdrops’. 

Having already confirmed a whole host of ace new artists for their First Fifty preview shows (which will take place in venues across London on 13th November), The Great Escape are set to share more news on 2025’s other Spotlight Show performers in due course. 

The May date in Brighton will form one of Rizzle Kicks’ four upcoming UK shows, with appearances in Manchester, Birmingham and London also on the cards for 2025. Fans can get tickets for their TGE Spotlight Show from 10am this Thursday (10th October) via The Great Escape’s website, while tickets for the other cities will be available from the same time here.
