Japandroids join Levis OnesToWatch at The Great Escape
Following two incredibly successful years at The Great Escape, Levis® OnesToWatch® returns to the Brighton Festival this May with another killer line-up; encompassing live and acoustic bands, DJs, a secret show, and some not so-secret after parties.
Once again Levis® takeover the entire Audio nightclub for the three days, bringing some of the best up and coming acts to their stage. Levis® will host a series of afternoon terrace parties with super-cool French four-piece Kid Bombardos, electro-poppers Fortune and Canadian indie-kids Young Rival, wholl be rocking the party in the summer sun. Youll need special wristbands for entry to these sessions and these will be available exclusively at The Levis® Store in Brightons Churchill Square, every day from 9th - 15th May. Also watch out for Levis® one-off secret gig that you wont want to miss,
Evenings will be a not-to-miss affair with some the industrys top talents performing to a packed out house. Thursdays headliner will be British art-rock powerhouse These New Puritans with support from hot dance-floor property that is Fenech Soler, and Icelandic duo Feldberg.
On Friday Vancouver Garage Rock band Japandroids lead the way with a little help from west Londoners Goldhawks, and self proclaimed 'mad studio scientists North Atlantic Oscillation.
Summer Camp top the bill with their dreamy summer anthems on the Saturday, supported perfectly by the retro pop sounds of Frankie & The Heartstrings, and the psychedelic art-pop of Djanjo Django.
