Great Escape 2009 Officially Looks Awesome.

Brighton's Great Escape Festival has had it's first set of names announced to the musical world and by the looks of things, it's as equally awesome as a fountain of chocolate love.

The festival has billed a huge amount of new rising talent but they've still managed to grab a fair few big names for the event as well. Kasabian, British Sea Power, Ben Kweller, Passion Pit, Johnny Foreigner and The Joy Formidable are only a tiny fragment of the great names lined up for the Brighton bash which starts May 14th and runs though till the 16th.

Head over to the official Great Escape website HERE to check ticket information as a little early birdy told us that some tickets are available now at just under £40 for a day ticket. You can also check below for the full line-up.
