The Great Escape 2026 @ Brighton, England

May 15th-16th 2026: The Great Escape @ Brighton, England

The Photo Ladies made it down to Brighton for this year’s Great Escape Festival. This year’s fest was especially significant, was it’s TGE’s 20th Anniversay! A feat for any festival to maintain itself that long, let alone stick to it’s roots, of being THE festival for new music discovery, which we certain can account for. This year proved to be a bit rainy and cold, but that didn’t stop industry folk, new fans, local supporters, and musicians from flooding the Brighton streets for 4 days.

We made sure to try and have a stop at every venue for a slew of our new favourite artists of 2026. Below you can catch the gallery of what we caught and a playlist to go along with. Happy listening and look forward to sharing more great artists in 2027!
