The Great Escape Festival has more to do with gigging than digging. It takes place at the seaside city of Brighton, involving almost all the live venues in the centre, all within walking distance.
By day there's a variety of insightful industry talks, panel debates and celebrity interviews and by night there's a festival of live acts and parties showcasing the best new talent from around the world.
You can keep up to date with all the latest news from Gigwise by following us on Twitter and liking us on Facebook.
