Sounds Australia is returning to The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, UK this week with two huge showcases of Australian music, presented in partnership with the Australian High Commission UK and Tourism Australia.
Join us on Thursday 14 May at Komedia as we take over both stages for the afternoon. Then, on Saturday 16 May, Australian artists will showcase across all three stages on TGE Beach. As an exciting addition to this year’s showcase at TGE Beach, we’ll be welcoming Live Nation Australia’s Ones To Watch to Saturday’s showcase who will host the outdoor stage. You’ll find the set times for both showcases below.
Artists such as Amyl & The Sniffers, Confidence Man, Courtney Barnett, Cub Sport, DMA’S, Folk Bitch Trio, Gang Of Youths, Julia Jacklin, Sycco and Tkay Maidza, just to name a few, have all showcased at The Great Escape Festival. With 28 Australian acts performing at this year’s festival, you’re bound to discover the next big thing from Australia in Brighton in 2026.
