Dream Wife play the DIY stage at Live at Leeds: In the Park 2022

As part of our artists development programme we are able to co-curate exciting emerging artist stages alongside education programmes. One of the most longstanding examples of this has been The Great Escape, where DIY takeover four evenings at the renowned Horatio’s at the end of Brighton Pier to showcase some of the best new bands in the first stages of their career.
