Kat Morris, festival director, said: ‘We are so excited to complete this year’s line-up. Since its inception nine years ago, we have always maintained that the foremost objective of the festival is to produce an internationally-reaching programme that is genuinely representative of the full spectrum of emerging talent in music.
‘I think we’ve achieved that. There is so much incredible talent out there, we are honoured to showcase as much of it as we can at the Great Escape. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the festival in May!”
