This performance was slightly shorter but just as sweet. It would be ace if they played @greatescapefest again today, right? Who knows. Anything is possible in the world of Angine De Poitrine.

Join us for a unique panel discussion bringing together a Brighton-based global artist and the team around them. The event offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to build an artist project outside of the traditional music industry model. As the industry continues to accelerate, artists are expected to be everywhere at once - touring, promoting, creating, and showing up. But for some, that model simply does not fit. This conversation explores what happens when perceived limitations lead to new systems, and when the response is not to force the artist into the existing structure, but to build a new one around them. Through honest dialogue, the artist and the team will unpack how they have built their own infrastructure across the project. Alongside the practical realities of running an independent creative operation, the panel will also explore how care can be embedded into the work rather than added as an afterthought, and how the industry should evolve to support artists as whole people, not just as output. We’re inviting industry professionals, creatives, and audiences alike to rethink what support really looks like and to consider how access, care, creativity, and infrastructure can be built into the same system. Part of our Future Creative Leaders (FCL), We, Generate programme for Brighton Festival 2026. Featuring live events, conversations, and a youth takeover, it’s a space for experimentation and community. 📅 Wednesday, 13 May 2026 🕐 Doors: 6 PM. Event: 6.30-8 PM 📍 The Old Market, Hove, BN3 1AS Tickets: £5. Booking Required.
