Declan McKenna is doing a special acoustic set at The Great Escape tomorrow

The seaside extravaganza kicks off this Thursday (17th May).

If you’re off down to the seaside tomorrow you’re sure of a big hangover. Surprise. We meant surprise.

Yep, The Great Escape kicks off in Brighton in less than 24 hours, and we’ve got news of a super special secret guest who’ll be playing on Thursday (17th May).

Our mate and yours Declan McKenna is set to make a showing at Fender’s stage at Patterns, playing an acoustic set from 2:30pm. Have your lunch, and wash it down with a pint of Dec.

It’s not the only TGE fun you’ll be able to have tomorrow – in the evening you’ll be able to head down to the Dork stage at Sticky Mikes, where you’ll find the likes of Marsicans, Jack Parker and Gaffa Tape Sandy.
