After emerging from this year's BIGSOUND as one of the clear standouts, WA artist Stella Donnelly is set to go global with news that she'll play at UK's The Great Escape festival in 2018.

Donnelly will also travel to the UK in November between appearances at The Plot in Sydney and Queenscliff festivals to perform at the First Fifty mini-festival, which showcases the first 50 artists announced on The Great Escape bill. 

Other Aussies confirmed for The Great Escape include City Calm Down and Mansionair.

Meanwhile back home, Donnelly has been announced as the latest signing for Select Agency, where she joins a roster that already boasts the likes of Boy & Bear and Ball Park Music. 

The news comes after the burgeoning songwriter was announced as the winner of the inaugural Levi's Music Prize at BIGSOUND.

Donnelly is currently gearing up for the release of the official music video for her track, Boys Will Be Boys.

Check out an exclusive video of Donnelly performing the song for The Music at BIGSOUND below.
