Yes, the annual The Great Escape shindig kicks off tomorrow and MOJO is set to take over The Old Market venue in the centre of sunny (fingers crossed) Brighton to present three nights of pure musical bliss.
Now cemented as the British equivalent of Austin's South-By-Southwest bonanza, this year's three-day, 200-act spectacular will see 10,000 gig-maniacs, record-heads and the odd journalist, descend upon the south coast for what promises to be a packed weekend of bands, banter and beach.
Over the course of the weekend, MOJO will be ensconced front and centre to provide daily blogs, up-to-the-minute news and picture exclusives from the festival frontline. And remember to stay tuned to MOJO4MUSIC.COM across the next week, for a selection of video exclusives from some of the best bands of the event!
