As Britain's answer to cult industry festival SXSW, The Great Escape showcases the rising stars of tomorrow's world.
The French delegation is out in force this year, with 15 artists playing a wide range of styles. Get lost with the Robert Wyatt-infused mellow songs of Julien Gasc, the electronic R&B of SÔNGE, or the '80s melodies of Fishbach.

The Great Escape takes place in Brighton between 18 and 20 May, get tickets on their website.
