“We’ve wanted to do this for a few years now, so we’re delighted it’s finally happening. As Rory said, Dublin is a hotbed for new music and we can’t wait to showcase the best up and coming talent across the two days. When you see the likes of Adele, Hozier, Foals, Stormzy, Sigrid and The 1975 on previous Great Escape Festivals, it makes us very excited about the future potential of our line-up this year. The two-day ticket will get you access to all venues across the festival and it will be a great way to discover new music.” – Jack Price, Promoter – MCD Production
