As the 10th edition of The Great Escape draws closer, they've announced a staggering 150 artists to add to their already bulging line up (read about that here) to complete the jig saw for Europe's biggest festival for up and coming artists. 

Filtering through the mammoth instalment, we've picked out inclusions of The Cribs, who recently dropped For All My Sisters (some of that below), former Supergrass front man Gaz Coombes, atmospheric indie pop collective Tropics and Australian alt-rapper Tkay Maidza. 

Elsewhere, MC African Boy installs some South London Grime, Liverpool's Hooton Tennis Club are pencilled in, alt-grunge five piece Hyena make the grade and there's fresh involvement from Hollysiz, Lion Babe, Bill Ryder Jones, Tusks, Palace and a tonne load more destined to break our day to day playlists. 

The festival takes place across Brighton from Thursday 14th to Saturday 16th May and includes a variety of music conferences focusing on issues and ideas led by people in the industry.
