Any unsigned acts that would like to take part in this year’s Surface Unsigned Festival have until Sunday, January 31 to apply.
Starting in February, the Surface Unsigned will tour the UK, giving artists from cities such as Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Brighton and London the chance to compete for £60,000 worth of prizes.
Surface Unsigned Festival is a national live music event helping to discover and promote new talent, bringing unsigned acts to the attention of the music industry.
The top 16 bands from Surface Unsigned in 2010 will play an industry showcase at London’s IndigO2 and support a major touring act.
The winning act will get £5,000 in cash, a slot at the 2011 Sziget Festival in Budapest – playing to a potential audience of 65,000 people – a digital distribution contract with Zimbalam Digital and various other incentives.
The event’s judging panel is headed by Jon Brookes, drummer of The Charlatans.
