Wild Beasts, These New Puritans Join Brighton’s Great Escape Festival

Brighton weekender The Great Escape has announced a new batch of names to its 2014 bill. Wild Beasts and These New Puritans are the standout names; they’ll both be playing a show back-to-back at the Brighton Dome on Friday 9th May.

Support for the standalone show comes from Leeds newcomers Adult Jazz. They join the already confirmed Jungle, Kelis and Royal Blood this year.

If you’re more interested in milling around a city and finding bands in unlikely venues, Jon Hopkins is among the new additions, with Albert Hammond Jr. and hip-hop force Ratking also joining in. Joel Compass is another name on the bill, with Hozier likely to be one of the festival’s most hotly-anticipated new acts.

Solids, George Ezra, Gnarwolves, Lyger, The Neighbourhood and Trust are also set to play. See the new additions in full below.

Saver tickets are available from £49.50. Tickets for the Wild Beasts Dome show are £17.50 (without a weekend ticket) and an additional £7 for those already with a weekend pass.
