Lewis Capaldi is the first name to be announced for The Great Escape's Spotlight show series next year.

Having been nominated for the BRITs Critics' Choice Award, Lewis Capaldi is being put in the 'Spotlight' again, this time at Brighton's The Great Escape.

The 'Spotlight' shows take place at Brighton's prestigious Dome venue, and is ticketed seperately to the festival. Last year the festival welcomed MIST and MoStack as their 'Spotlight' performers.

Commenting on his return to Brighton's new music festival, Capaldi says, "Absolutely over the moon to come back and play The Great Escape this year! Had an amazing show last time and hopefully things will be the same this time around!”

So far Brighton's new music showcase will see performances from L Devine, WOOZE, Squid, Millie Turner, Jockstrap, Indoor Pets, Fontaines D.C, Connie Constance, and many more.

The Great Escape will take place at multiple venues throughout the city between 8-11 May 2019. Tickets for the four-day festival start at £60, and are on sale now. Find out more.
