Great Escape 2015
The Maccabees and The Vaccines to play The Great Escape
Two huge names have been added last-minute to the festival.
The Maccabees and The Vaccines have self-confirmed last-minute appearances at Brighton’s Great Escape Festival, which kicked off yesterday.
The Vaccines will be showcasing new album ‘English Graffiti’ with a midnight set tonight (Fridat 15th May) at Brighton Haunt, as confirmed via their Instagram.
Following that, The Maccabees take to the Corn Exchange from 11pm on Saturday 16th May. They’re playing the “secret slot” at the fest (which isn’t so secret now, etc.).
Earlier this week, Drenge announced they’d be playing The Great Escape. This Friday they take to Patterns Upstairs from midnight.
Plenty of huge names to make that clash-finder even more intense, then. Catch up with our guide to day two of the fest here and follow everything via our Great Escape tag.
Listen to The Maccabees’ ‘Marks to Prove It’ below.
