Amanda Briggs | Thursday, 18 March 2010
Alongside Groove Armada, The Great Escape have also confirmed a whole raft of the most exciting new acts currently blowing audiences away, with raw rocking Brighton duo Blood Red Shoes, all-girl punk legends The Slits, curveball riff-monsters The Fiery Furnaces and cliché swerving indie-popsters Everything Everything.
Other acts making TGE appearances include I Blame Coco, Egyptian Hip Hop, Detroit Social Club, Daisy Dares You, Surfer Blood, General Fiasco, Theophilus London, Frankie & The Heartstrings, Alessi's Ark, Ganglians, The Pack A.D, Warpaint, Art Vs Science, The Agitator, Citadels, Gold Panda, Goldhawks, Trembling Bells, Here We Go Magic, Dan Smith, Vuk, Frontier Ruckus, and Rural Alberta Advantage.
Plus there will be sets from The Crookes, Othello Woolf, Polly Mackey & The Pleasure Principle, Ramona, Rich Aucoin, Rubber Kiss Goodbye, Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees, Sophie Madeline, The Charkas, Wax Fang, Artisan Guns, Lights Go Blue, Manna, MAY68, An Emerald City and Ingrid Olava.
With a wealth of amazing talent already announced and some incredible bands still to come, this year's TGE is shaping up to be a proper corker.
