The Great Escape 2009



In these precarious times wasting money on a bad festival will be a big mistake. For the price of a weekend's clubbing, or 8 packs of fags or 2 bags of decent Camden weed (40 quid) the early bird specials are available for the Great Escape Festival (The UK's answer to South by Southwest).
Here are the acts so far.
Metronomy * Kissy Sell Out * Future of the Left * Ben Kweller * Johnny Foreigner * Esser * Passion Pit * Dananananaykroyd * The Big Pink * The Soft Pack * The Chapman Family * Micachu and the Shapes * Let's Wrestle * Bell X1 * VV Brown * Vivian Girls * Golden Silvers * Official Secrets Act * The Handsome Family * Your Twenties * An Experiment on the Bird in the Air Pump * It Hugs Back * Pulled Apart by Horses * Middle Class Rut * To The Bones * KASMs * Televised Crimewave * The Joy Formidable * Cassie and the Cassettes * Tin Can Telephone * A Grave With No Name * Yves Klein Blue * The John Steel Singers *
