Brighton, we love you. The Great Escape, we love you. Sun, sea, ice cream, chips and, of course, a whole bunch of live music. The Great Escape 2018 played host to an almost overwhelming amount of incredible music and good times; we were on the ground to capture as much as humanly possible. Here’s The Great Escape 2018 in fifty photos.
