The Placebo frontman will give a talk at the convention part of the festival...

Lol Creme, Trevor Horn and Ash Soan of super-group Producers have also been added to the In Conversation programme at this year's Great Escape convention.
 
Brian Molko will discuss a decade and a half in the spotlight, his creative process, and playing live - as well as Placebo's last album Battle For The Sun, which the band chose to self-release.
 
Also taking part in the convention section of the festival is Xfm's John Kennedy - talking about more than a decade of championing new music and helming X-Posure here on Xfm.

Meanwhile Michael Eavis and Rob da Bank will be reunited on the TGE stage for the first time in six years to lead The Great Festival Conversation. Rob will continue the festivals debate with three of the UK festival community's top new promoters: Jo Vidler from Wilderness & Secret Garden Party, Simon Taffe from End Of The Road and Tom Baker from Field Day.

The Great Escape takes place in Brighton May 10 - 12.
