The Great Escape - Day 1

It felt fantastic to leave London for a long weekend to photograph The Great Escape Festival in Brighton. Described as Europe's version of SXSW in Texas, the music takes place across over 30 venues close to the sea front, all within walking distance of one another. Having the beach and sea air gave it a nice feel and this meant it had a far more pleasant and less hectic than the Camden Crawl.
On the first day I photographed the crazy, but enjoyable Ida Maria (bottom photo), before catching the superb Vampire Weekend (top two photos).
