The Great Escape have announced more highlights this week, joining their burgeoning schedule ahead of the event itself in Brighton from 14-16 May.
Blur drummer Dave Rowntree and Universal Music’s Marc Robinson – who heads up their Globe sync and licensing department – both join the programme. The core conference also includes discussions, panels and keynotes with representatives from Spotify, 6Music, Cooking Vinyl and many other influential industry bodies.
They have also announced a partnership with Music is GREAT, the initiative supported by UK Trade & Investment and the British Council that celebrates the UK’s musical output and creativity and its positive impact on the economy.
