New dance acts added to summer festival line-up

PERFORMERS Ben Nicky and Horse Meat Disco are among the latest dance music stars to join the impressive line-up for a music festival heading to Swansea’s Singleton Park this summer.

The Escape Swansea music festival is making a welcome comeback on Saturday, August 20, and is set to be “bigger and better” than ever before – with some 10,000 people expected to attend.

Escape Swansea, full name Escape Into The Park, was well-known in the late Nineties and Noughties for bringing top DJS and musicians to Swansea every year – until its shock hiatus.

Then, after a decade without Escape, it emerged from the ashes and made an epic comeback last September, before an announceme­nt at the start of this year confirmed it would be back this summer too.

Organisers confirmed some of the acts that will be performing at the event earlier this year.

In an announceme­nt in February, they said Sub Focus, Dimension, Bru-c and Eddie Halliwell were among the stars set to take to the stage, as well as special appearance­s from Eksman, Harriet Jaxxon, Hazzard Higgo, Hype, IC3, K Motionz, Judge Jules, Audiofreq, Lisa Lashes, Shugz and Will Atkinson.

Now, festival organisers have confirmed even more names for the big day, including Ben Nicky, a popular dance/electronic music DJ from Bristol, and cult favourites Horse Meat Disco.

They join already announced stars including Hannah Wants,

Lovely Laura & Ben Santiago, as well as Cally & Juice, Friction, K Motionz, Glen Horsbourgh, Billy Gilles, Richard Earnshaw, Shocker, Ridney, Tom Brownlow, Andy Whitby, Queen B, Faze 2, Francesco Zeta, MKN, Roger Sanchez and Neil Navarra. Tickets are still available for the oneday festival. Third release tickets are priced at £49 plus booking fee (£54.15). People can pay this in one lump sum or in three monthly payments, with a deposit of £10 or £20. Also coming to Swansea this summer is Swansea Pride 2022. The festival, which celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and raises awareness of LGBTQ+ issues in the city, last took place in Swansea in May 2019 and will predominan­tly take place this year on Saturday, April 30. Most of the festivitie­s will be based at the National Waterfront Museum and Museum Green in Swansea city centre, but additional events are expected to take place in other locations. Full details are expected nearer the date, but so far organisers have confirmed there will be a parade on Wind Street at 11am, followed by a festival at the National Waterfront Museum and Museum Green, noon to 7pm. The event is free and is taking place in partnershi­p with Swansea Council, the National Waterfront Museum and Jermin Production­s.
