SPECIAL GUEST
Since 2011, Vevo have programmed their own stage at The Great Escape resulting in many success stories - Iggy Azalea made her first ever UK festival appearance on the Vevo stage in 2013, and three times BRIT nominee George Ezra was one of last year's highlights. Other acts who Vevo showcased in previous years include Tom Odell, Kodaline, Kiesza and Tove Lo.
Vevo's stage at The Great Escape continues the platform's commitment to supporting emerging talent and new music. The Vevo DSCVR series is THE destination for the hottest new music, uniting the artist and the audience and giving fans the chance to discover the next big thing first. There's a roll call of incredible talent who have come up through the ranks from this launch pad such as Sam Smith, Years & Years, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Ella Eyre, Wolf Alice, James Bay and Hozier to name a few.
