The three-day bonanza that is The Great Escape festival (May 14-16) - an annual celebration of music and all its orbiting moons that has fast become the UK's very own South-By-Southwest - is once again ready to launch.
After the huge success of last year's event, MOJO is delighted to announce that we will once again be hosting a stage at the seaside shindig. Expect headline sets from The Black Key's Dan Auerbach (pictured), Noah and the Whale and the legendary Gang Of Four, as well as exclusive performances from the likes of VV Brown, Broken Records, Beth Jeans Houghton, The Handsome Family and Joe Gideon & The Shark; all will be gracing our stage at The Old Market.
Join us down the front. It's going to be quite a weekend.
