The BIMM Alternative Escape 2019 Lineup is Here

18 April, 2019

The sun’s out here in Brighton, and May is just around the corner. What can make today even better? How about announcing our lineup for our Alternative Escape Showcase?

The Alternative Escape is always a highlight of The Great Escape festival – a three-day live music event that sees 500 new artists performing across more than 30 venues throughout Brighton.

And every year, BIMM’s up-and-coming talent take to the stage for the Alternative Festival. This year is no exception – just take a look at 2019’s incredible lineup that features a roster of musical talent spanning multiple genres:  

  • Peace In Protest
  • ARXX
  • Our Family Dog
  • Placid
  • Pollon
  • The Peeps
  • Gnarlah
  • Swanmeat
  • Isla
  • Badlaws
  • La Laguna
  • Feral Youth
  • Alfie Neale
  • Caleb Harris

You can catch each artist on Saturday 11th May at the North Laine Brewhouse for ‘The Alt Show Alldayer’ taking place from 12pm-11pm. 

“Our Alternative Escape all-dayer at North Laine Brewhouse has the best of our more edgy acts coming through,” says Suzi Ireland, our Artist Development & Events Manager.

The best thing is, it’s free-entry – so doesn’t matter if you’ve got a TGE wristband or not, come down and enjoy some amazing emerging talent.
