sean by Sean Adams February 28th, 2012

Brighton's Great Escape festival confirms more names...

Before we tell you about the rest of the names, we're very excited to confirm that Errors - who've released one of the albums of the year, so far - will be headlining one of DiS' three curated nights at the festival.

We've also confirmed the first UK date for Eight And A Half, the new project from some of the chaps from The Stills and Broken Social Scene, who make a haunting whirl, which sounds like this:

They join the previously announced DiS stage line-up which so far includes When Saints Go Machine, College, Nils Frahm, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, The British Expeditionary Force and new-comers The Soft.

As for the other ninety (90!) names announced today for the festival, they include Maximo Park headlining the Dome, and DiS favourites such as The Mystery Jets, Rolo Tomassi, Forest Swords, New Look, EMA and, well, all of these:
