141 more bands added to Great Escape line up
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 March 2012
141 more bands have been added to the line up for this year’s The Great Escape, which is very exciting indeed. Amongst the latest editions are The Temper Trap, returning to the Brighton festival three years after playing one of their first ever shows there, this time in a headline slot at the Brighton Dome.
Confirming their return to TGE, the Temper Trap told CMU: “We can’t wait to play The Great Escape again – being part of the event in 2009 was incredible and 2012 is going to be even better. We’ll be playing songs from our new album, it’s set to be a very special show”.
Jack White signings The Black Belles on their first UK trip, former Supergrasser Gaz Coombes and We Are Augustines are among the other bands now added to the extensive list of acts set to play venues across Brighton between 10 and 12 May, alongside the CMU-programmed Great Escape convention, more news from which will be announced tomorrow.
