Unveiled: the final addition to DiS' Great Escape bill

Last week saw the announcement of the bands set to take to the DrownedinSound stage at this year’s Great Escape in Brighton. There was, however, one ‘TBC’-shaped omission from the fine clutch of acts gathered here and, in mid-May, backstage at Digital.

We can finally reveal that M.I.A.'s Brooklyn-bound protégé Santogold completes our bill – leaving it looking like this:

Thursday 15th May
The Futureheads
Fanfarlo
Broken Records
Eugene McGuinness

Friday 16th May
Crystal Castles
Cadence Weapon
George Pringle
Lovvers

Saturday 17th May
These New Puritans
Santogold
Times New Viking
Telepathe

Tickets for the Great Escape are available here at the lazy bird price of £45, though for some reason the price goes up if you want guaranteed entrance to see Fratellis. Dur dur dur, dur dur hurrrrrrr…

An interview with Santogold will run on DrownedinSound sometime next week.
