WIN! Tickets to The Great Escape
WIN! Tickets to The Great Escape
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver May 8th, 2008

Hey you! People who aren’t doing ATP on May 16-18, or any other of the many events that weekend come to think of it. Wanna go to a festival for free?* Wanna go to The Great Escape for free? Read on.

DiS – that’s us, hello – has two pairs of tickets to give away for the annual booze ‘n’ bands ‘n’ beach shindig down at Brighton on May 15-17. Held across a number of venues – your wristband grants to access to these venues, and the line-ups they house – The Great Escape has attracted a number of super-hot names to its bill this year, including Vampire Weekend, The Futureheads, Crystal Castles, Young Knives, Iron & Wine, Santogold, These New Puritans, Friendly Fires, Lightspeed Champion and Laura Marling. Check out more details and the full bill at the official TGE website HERE.

DiS is taking over Digital, on the seafront (189-192 Kings Road Arches; website), for the duration of the festival; our bill reads as follows:

Thursday May 15

**The Futureheads

Fanfarlo

Broken Records

Eugene McGuinness**

Friday May 16

**Crystal Castles

Cadence Weapon

George Pringle

Lovvers**

Saturday May 17

**These New Puritans

Santogold

Times New Viking

Telepathe**

Fairly wow, all told – do check the official website for more details regarding bands, venues and travel. To win a pair of tickets to the three-day festival, simply answer this easy question…

Smoke ‘em, smoke ‘em, smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em, if you ain’t got ‘em, then you hit…

A) Rock Bottom?

B) The Hard Booze?

C) Your Local AA Meeting?

Clues, they’re here. To enter this competition simply post your answer in the comments section below; winners will be contacted by DiS via an onsite note on COMPETITION CLOSED + WINNERS CONTACTED. * Please note that this prize is for tickets only, and DiS will not cover travel or accommodation costs, let alone your drinks bill.

Good luck!
