The Great Escape have just revealed over 170 more names for this year’s event.

Skunk Anansie are joining the Brighton bash on May 16, playing The Independent Stage at The Old Market in anticipation of the release of their new album The Painful Truth one week later (they’re currently right in the middle of a sold-out UK tour at the moment, with legendary singer Skin promising they’ve got “fire in our belly” while delivering “a completely brand new production”).

Elsewhere, the likes of CLT DRP, The Molotovs and Divide & Dissolve have all joined the seaside fest, which takes place between May 14 – 17 and will include a whopping 450 acts across 35 walkable music venues.
