We are delighted to announce that we will be casting the spotlight on the United Kingdom at this year's Great Escape. This deserved celebration of UK talent coincides with our 10th anniversary which will see the 2015 programme look both back at the past decade and forward into its future through artists, debates, panels and more. The lead country focus will be supported by UK Music, the campaigning and lobbying body which represents every part of the UK music industry.

In TGE's history we have partnered with countries across the world, putting the attention on artists from countries including Finland (2014), Australia (2010), Norway (2008), France (2007) and Canada (2006) to perform in front of its varied and influential audience. Now, in 2015, The Great Escape returns its attention closer to home to highlight the very best and brightest talent emerging across the United Kingdom.

Our Festival Director Kat Morris said on the partnership, "In its history, The Great Escape has built a reputation as one of the most significant international festivals on the circuit and we are always incredibly proud of our lead country partnerships. These collaborations provide new artists a key opportunity to perform at the UK's biggest industry event, being highlighted to some 18,000 attendees. As we celebrate the festival's 10th anniversary, we feel it's the perfect time to focus on the huge amount of brilliant, home-grown talent here in the UK."

This focus on the United Kingdom as lead partner will be supported by UK Music, the campaigning and lobbying body which represents every part of the UK music industry. Chief Executive, Jo Dipple, said: "I am delighted the Great Escape has put the UK in the spotlight for its 10th anniversary. We produce the best music in the world so it is right to acknowledge that and give a bigger platform to our emerging artists. I can't wait to hear some great live music in May."

As well as standalone talent showcases, this year's Great Escape core music programme will be laced with the best new UK artists as we take over 30+ venues across Brighton over 3-days. The first 150 artists to join the line-up for The Great Escape 10th anniversary festival will be announced next week.
