Great Escape Festival Moments (2017)

Who here is suffering from Great Escape Festival blues? We certainly are! 

For one weekend only, Brighton hosts this amazing festival that brings you music and creatives from all over the world, as they take over any possible space that can hold an amplifier. But the best thing about it isn't the music (it helps though), is the sense of community, everyone is friendly, even those who have been up for three days straight partying. It doesn't just attract bands, it also attracts those who help the industry run; the tour managers, the van drivers, the press teams, so our Photography and Live Reviews Editor Ant Adams went rouge behind the scenes and caught the action with his Polaroid camera.

Weirds - one of them was asleep and had to be woken up for this. Which one was it?
