Down By The Sea - The Great Escape

You'll notice that the second day of our stage features bands that all orginate from Brighton, this is Gigwise's way of celebrating the cities fervent music scene, a scene that has consistently given us a steady stream of exciting musical talent in recent years, and hopefully each band's set can launch them on to bigger and better things.

Fingers crossed you’ll be able to get in to see all the bands on our bill but just in case you can’t we’ve come up with an itinerary for what we think would make the perfect Great Escape weekend of gigs. We've mixed up some of our favourite bands with some of the shows we're expecting to be off the hook, you can thank us later for the advice.
