As the temperatures plummet and brief snow flurries begin to dust our streets, here at The Great Escape HQ, we are feeling rather festive. With Christmas just round the corner, we would like to take the time to wish each and every one of you a very merry Christmas and an even merrier new year! What's more, you can expect our first artist announcement as a little new year's treat from us at The Great Escape very soon indeed! We've been busier than Santa's elves here and are extremely excited to let you know more about our 2013 line up. Oh, and talking of treats, there's still time to bag yourselves Super Early Bird festival tickets for the amazing price of just £35! Perfect present material for music loving friends or relatives, or maybe you deserve a cheeky present yourself? Get your hands on them while they're still so ridiculously cheap!

So as "the coldest winter in 100 years' forces you to add yet another layer of thermals to your existing 5 layers, cast your mind forwards to the sunny, seaside shores of Brighton this coming May and an an amazing weekend of live music and partying with us at The Great Escape 2013!
