Further acts have been confirmed for this year's The Great Escape weekender, taking place at venues across sunny Brighton from May 17th 'til the 19th of the very same month. Mmm, Brrrriiiiiggghhhttttooon. I went there once, played the arcades. That fella from 80s Matchbox told me I was rubbish for doing so. True story.

Cor, that's a hella lotta bandsa. But there's more, innit! Cos some have already been confirmed, like before this batch even. Wow? Yup!
