Billboard U.K. Take Over The Great Escape With Live Sets from English Teacher, Westside Cowboy, More


Billboard U.K. hosted its inaugural stage at The Great Escape in Brighton with live sets from English Teacher, Westside Cowboy and more.

The event, held in Brighton annually, kicks off the U.K.’s festival season with a number of global acts heading to the seaside for days of music, networking, conferences and more. A number of big name artists performed at the festival across the four-day event, with The Libertines frontman Pete Doherty, Rizzle Kicks, Skunk Anansie and The Horrors all heading down to the city on the south coast. The group won the 2024 Mercury Prize with debut album This Could Be Texas, and proved how the U.K.’s grassroots scene is continually producing stellar acts, and why it must be protected and treasured.
