The next Great Escape side festival is the Greatest Ape festival run by Bella Union and hosted in their tiny shop in the North Laine. Like the other festivals, it runs from the 16th of May to the 18th of May. It is free but entrance is by wristband only and there is already a waiting list. But let’s face it, you could easily stand outside the shop and see and hear whatever was happening inside. I am guessing they are all local unsigned bands as I haven’t heard of any of them. They include;

Rachel Lavelle

Parker Fans

Deary

and Bumble Bee Boy who don’t appear to have released a video yet.
