Thriving through lockdown on TikTok, Sophie May broke onto the scene with her melodic folk pop, now joining The Great Escape line-up as one of 2023 hottest new artists. Nix Northwest will bring his mellifluous brand of jazz-inspired hip-hop as Fat Dog will undoubtedly entertain music fans with their upbeat electronic punk. RØRY will showcase her honest pop-punk that’s seen her boom on social media, musician and poet Heartworms is set to showcase their entrancing avant-garde post-punk, whilst duo Dolores Forever share dreamy indie-pop tunes, set to pair beautifully with the coastal sun.
