Generator’s North East Showcase x The Great Escape

For over 18 years, The Great Escape festival has been the ultimate festival for discovering new music. Showcasing over 500 emerging artists from all over the world in around 30 walkable venues across the seaside resort, there’s also a pop-up festival site right on Brighton Beach. While we can’t guarantee the weather, we can ensure that five of the brightest stars in the North East will be there to be discovered.   

The North East is a hotbed right now when it comes to creative talent. With major labels looking to set up shop and a booming creative industry, Generator is at the forefront of the development of the region’s musical infrastructure. We’re thrilled to be supporting five of our region’s top emerging talent to travel down to the festival and perform as part of Generator’s North East Showcase. Supported by Invest Newcastle, our line-up consists of Ernie, Maius Mollis, Rivkala, Jango Flash, and Melanie Baker. Each artist is a stellar example of the range of talent present in the North East, and we’re looking forward to audiences and industry insiders alike recognising that.

As well as our Generator showcase, we are very proud to be co-hosting our partners drinks supported by PPL for the launch of Northern Music Network, which is a new collective working to support the music sector all over the North of England – from Liverpool to South Yorkshire, and of course our thriving North East.
