The Great Escape 2026 has added 100+ new names ahead of its 20th anniversary
Y, Bimini, Do Nothing and PVA are among the names joining the Brighton festival's milestone edition.
Brighton's new music festival The Great Escape have expanded their 2026 bill with a fresh wave of over 100 artists, as the event prepares to mark its 20th anniversary from 13th to 16th May.
Post-punk acts feature prominently among the new names, with Nottingham's Do Nothing, Bristol newcomers My First Time, and Los Angeles outfit Sunday Mourners all confirmed. Electronic trio PVA, Norwegian dream-pop artist Sassy 009, and North London's Madmadmad bring dancefloor energy to proceedings, while Irish/Cornish indie group Girl in the Year Above and Swedish band Girl Scout represent the guitar end of the spectrum. Genre-defying outfit Y also join the bill.
