Artist registration opens for The Great Escape
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 16 November 2009
Artist registration has opened for The Great Escape 2010, meaning that any artists who would like to be considered to play the big new bands bash by the sea should fill out the application form at this here URL pretty damn quick – www.escapegreat.com/artistregistration.
Unsigned or independent artists keen to play might also want to sign up to digital distributor Zimbalam. There will be three slots available at the music convention for artists who sell the most music via the digital distributor in the next three months. A short list of the best sellers on Zimbalam will be drawn up on 1 Mar, and three artists picked to play The Great Escape by a team of judges from both Zimbalam and TGE.
Next year’s Great Escape will happen from 13-15 May across Brighton. Red Stripe will return as headline sponsors once again. Confirming that, Red Stripe Brand Manger Paul Brazier told CMU: “Red Stripe has a natural fit with live music, and with the headline sponsorship of The Great Escape for the third year running, this connection has become much stronger. Our vision is to see Red Stripe available at every live music venue in the UK, and being involved with The Great Escape is one step closer to this goal. It proves the trade is recognising that credible artists and music lovers put Red Stripe before anything else”.
