Rebecca Black delivered a pop music masterclass at Brighton’s The Great Escape
Rebecca Black closed GAY TIMES’ first-ever stage at The Great Escape with a collection of her most beloved pop bangers. Following rousing sets from NOAHFINNCE, Claudia Valentina and Micky Callisto, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter – accompanied by a jewel-encrusted chainsaw – sent fans into a pop frenzy as she performed anthems such as Girlfriend and Read My Mind, as well as a cover of La Roux’s number one hit Bulletproof.
Rebecca concluded her set with a performance of her viral smasher Friday – the 2021 hyperpop remixed version featuring 3OH!3, Big Freedia and Dorian Electra.
All four stars performed at Club Revenge on 13 May, Brighton’s most well known queer venue. The Great Escape is a three-day music festival that takes place in Brighton and Hove every May.
It exists to showcase more than 450 up-and-coming artists from across the world by taking over 35 walk-able venues across the region, with this year’s celebrations having a special focus on LGBTQ+ talent through its partnership with GAY TIMES. “Music has given us some of our greatest LGBTQ+ icons, which is why GAY TIMES remains committed to supporting the queer superstars of tomorrow,” said Lewis Corner, Editorial Director of GAY TIMES. “As the UK’s best music festival for discovering emerging talent, we are delighted to be partnering with The Great Escape on their first ever dedicated LGBTQ+ stage with some exciting new music acts.
