Other musicians include: LA’s Mystic Braves, Philadelphia four-piece The Districts, Danish electro-pop trio Chinah and 19-year-old South Londoner Raye.

Raye said: “The Great Escape is such an important festival supporting new music. I’m so grateful that they give unknown artists a platform to play music to people with open ears. I played a couple of years ago and now I’m back – what an honour that is.”
