The Great Escape is the festival for new music. Held in Brighton in the UK, over 500 emerging artists from all over the world showcase in 30+ walkable venues across the city and a pop-up festival site on Brighton Beach.

For the last 15 years, Sounds Australia has offered the Australian artists an additional opportunity to perform and be discovered at The Great Escape Festival. This year, don’t miss the two Australia Sounds Like showcases, presented in partnership with Tourism Australia and The Australian High Commission UK. On Thursday May 16 from 12-4pm, acts will perform across two stages at Komedia. Then on Saturday May 18, Australian music will take over Brighton Beach, with artists showcasing on three stages from 12-6pm.

Sounds Australia’s showcases have become renowned as the places to see the next generation of Australian artists, such as Amyl & The Sniffers, Budjerah, Confidence Man, Courtney Barnett, Cub Sport, DMA’S, Dune Rats, Gang Of Youths, Julia Jacklin, Mia Wray, Middle Kids, Pacific Avenue, Sampa The Great, Sycco, Tasman Keith, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers, The Rubens and Tkay Maidza.
