The Great Escape came, it was a success, now its over and we are very sad. But don’t you worry! We now have NEXT years tickets on sale and we can start all over again. In the mean time this is what a few other people made of TGE:

"It’s the ability of the Great Escape to fill venues with a mix of the best new talent and more established artists that makes it such a draw for fans." -  London Lite

"With no mud to wade through, venues in close proximity, sun, sea and heaps of bands it really does seem like Brighton has it all." - Daily Star

"The Great Escape signaled the start of the summer festival season. Over three days, the city played host to a mammoth collection of emerging musical talent along with a smattering of bigger acts." - Independent.  

"The Great Escape has a reputation for unearthing unexpected delights." - Independent

"The emphasis is on new music with a roster that accompanies everything from the entirely obscure to the acts whose next stop will be the top 10." -  Guardian
