Business News Education & Events The Great Escape 2014
Full Great Escape festival schedule now live
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 10 April 2014
The full festival schedule for this year’s Great Escape – which is now less than a month away – has gone live on the event’s official website, with times and venues available for each of the 400+ bands who will play this year. Organisers have also confirmed details of a brand new festival hub, being staged in partnership with the Brighton Spiegeltent in the Old Steine Gardens.
Says Great Escape Festival Director Kat Morris: “We’re really excited to relocate and extend the festival hub into the Old Steine – it’s a great part of the city, right in the middle of all the venues, which will become the heart of the festival. We’ll be programming music right into the night and we hope it’ll provide an exciting new dynamic for The Great Escape festival-goers and Brighton residents alike”.
The festival runs alongside the CMU Insights-programmed Great Escape convention, of course. As previously reported, in a new look to the convention programme this year CMU will present six half-day insight strands, allowing industry delegates to dig deeper into key topics, and with more research, case studies and one-on-one interviews with leading players from across the music, media and digital industries.
The six insight strands are: Building A Fan Business, New Product Strategies, Maximising Music Rights, Global Digital Markets, The Festival Business and Blurred Lines – Does Pop Have A Misogyny Problem?
In addition to that lot, the TGE:DIY programme for the grass roots music community returns, plus new this year is the creative tech conference Blueprint, both of which are open to TGE delegates, plus standalone tickets are also available here. And this year’s extensive conversations programme is yet to be announced. That, plus the full timings for all convention activity, will go live next week. But delegate passes are selling fast, so make sure you get yours now.
