The kooks return to the seaside after performing at the very first the great escape festival in 2006 presented by nme
Formed in Brighton in the mid 2000s, The Kooks were among the breakthrough acts to perform at the very first edition of The Great Escape in 2006, the same year they released their now multi-platinum debut album Inside In/Inside Out, also celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The record, featuring era defining hits including ‘Naïve’, ‘She Moves in Her Own Way’, and the aptly titled ‘Seaside’, helped establish the band as one of the leading lights of the UK’s indie resurgence.
Returning to the seaside where it all began, this special Spotlight Show, presented in partnership with NME, celebrates 20 years of The Great Escape and the enduring legacy of an album that soundtracked a generation, bringing one of the festival’s earliest success stories back to Brighton for a landmark anniversary performance.
Presented by MAMA.
