The soundtrack to The Great Escape 2026 starts here.
We’ve just launched the FIRST FIFTY Spotify playlist, featuring the artists who’ll take over East London on Thursday 13th November for the live launch of The Great Escape 2026.

The playlist includes tracks from this year’s FIRST FIFTY line-up, including Girl Group, Persia Holder, Tommy WÁ, Sistra (pictured), Teenage Joans, James Emmanuel, Girl Tones, Sean Trelford, Madra Salach and many more – giving you a taste of what’s to come at the most exciting night of new music in the calendar.
