The Great Escape music festival concluded its 20th anniversary edition in 2026, marking the event's return with a new lineup featuring Seungkwan and Ko Kyung Pyo for a late 2026 installment. The festival included performances by CLASH and Angine de Poitrine, and was accompanied by a commemorative issue and photo coverage, though it was overshadowed by a tragic incident off the Brighton coast that led to a formal statement from organizers.
