DiS acts confirmed for Brighton's Great Escape

Gallows, Frank Turner and Land Of Talk have been announced as headliners for the DrownedinSound-curated shows at this year’s* Great Escape Festival*.

Eleven acts have been confirmed to play the DiS shows at Zap in Brighton on May 17-19, with one act still in the pipeline.

In other, seamlessly-linked news, DiS is feeling rather pleased with itself at the moment, since our readership figures for last week topped 200,000 for the first time in the history of mankind.

Can we have a badge now?

Here is the rather smashing line-up we’ve managed to assemble, in all its glory:

travelling down from the mighty Reading to see Laura Marling with Frank Turner afterwards = a bloody good idea.

You've got a rap act?

I have to see that. You seem to be at virtually every gig I go to so one of these days it's bound to happen...

You can definitely see your enthusiasm within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart.
