Sub Focus and Dimension announced as part of Swansea's Escape Festival 2022 line up

The Escape Festival line-up has been revealed for the first time for Swansea.

Dance fans will be able to watch Sub Focus, Dimension, Bru-C and Eddie Halliwell take to the stage at Singleton Park on Saturday, August 20.

Friction will be the special guest and there will also be appearances from Eksman, Harriet Jaxxon, Hazzard Higgo, Hype, IC3 and K Motionz.

Judge Jules, Audiofreq, Lisa Lashes, Shugz and Will Atkinson are also among the festival stars.

People have been snapping up general entry, teenage and VIP tickets since Tuesday for the event.

It first kicked-off back in 2000 and grew from being an offshoot of Swansea’s Escape club - pulling in 30,000 revellers into the city’s Singleton Park.

Originally 12,000 strong crowds were drawn into the park for the festival, which was launched on July 8, 1995 to 25,000 in the years after.

But the festival grew in success over the years and after a decade away it made a comeback last September.

The likes of Calvin Harris, Tiësto, David Guetta, Paul van Dyk, Steve Angello, Fedde Le Grand, Erick Morillo and Underworld played at the Swansea festival over the years.

There will be bars and free water points throughout the site to keep fans hydrated during the day.

Organisers have confirmed the event will be “bigger and better” than ever before and are promising for a “legendary" event this summer.

Escape Music Events, in a statement, said there was lots to look forward to and added: “First up, our brand new stage, CAFE MAMBO! The Ibiza hotspot is coming to Swansea this year and we can not wait!

“Not only that but our legendary Judgement stage back for another year!

“But, we are also bringing the one you’ve all been waiting for...LOGIC XTRA HARD.

“Expect this Summer to be full of holiday house, dances anthems & trippy trance!”

Backstage passes, £100 bar tab and a free escape stash bag can all be won through the Escape Festival page.
