From the editor: Rock ‘n’ roll ‘n’ Robin

Check it out! The Great Escape and The Alternative Great Escape are all set to take over your weekend, with brand new corners in the city of Brighton overflowing with musical revolutions and explosions. Brightonsfinest are at the heart of it all, running an exclusive interview with their own Alternative Great Escape stage headliner – Phoria. Just flip over the magazine for this and more music tips and lowdowns that’ll get you to hear the sounds you want filling your lug holes.

On this side of the magazine, highlights from the behemoths that are the Brighton Fringe and the Brighton Festival can be found in Brighton Lights and in our Stage section (p11). And don’t forget to follow @latestbrighton, @latestandrew and @latestvicky on Twitter as we head out to see all kinds of shows with the reviews team (uploaded to www.thelatest.co.uk), and spreading the word on our own recommendations. Plus details of a new production of The Adventures of Robin Hood (p5) slap bang exactly where it should be – in the great outdoors, thanks to the wonders of the Brighton Open Air Theatre.

Artists Open Houses trails are going further afield than before, not just geographically but in finding artists off the beaten track living on the edges of society. More can be found on this in this week’s Project Brighton (p7).

Not forgetting everything you have in store on LatestTV, including an exclusive peak at brand new show about Brighton – Our Town. Viva la seaside!
