The Great Escape, now in its 11th year, is one of UK's biggest music industry events, and is recognised internationally for showcasing the best new music from across the globe. Taking place in the seaside town of Brighton, it programmes over 450 artists across 35 venues in 3 days, representing a diverse array of artists across all different genres.
The British Council has once again invited a selection of international festival producers, agents, bookers and promoters who are looking to book British artists, with additional support from UKTI. The ultimate aim of the visit is to develop links between the international and UK music sector to encourage the booking of British artists going overseas.
