Win A World Tour and Win A World Tour and Performance at the 02! Performance at the 02!
With over £100, 000 in prizes and the chance to play at the 02 in London, Live and Unsigned is set to attract thousands of unsigned musicians when auditions across the UK begin in January. And the National competition has just announced another amazing main prize for the winner comprising of a world tour across four continents! Competing acts will have the chance to play at a leading music venue in Dublin as well as playing at Tour Music Fest in Rome’s Piper Club where artists like David Bowie, the Beatles and Pink Floyd have all performed. I Rock, Asia’s biggest Rock festival, will be awarding an act with a slot on their main stage and entrants will also have the opportunity to play in Australia at The National Theatre, Melbourne and perform in the US – a once in a lifetime opportunity for any aspiring musician.
Live and Unsigned is the UK’s biggest unsigned music competition for original artists and it’s open to
all genres. Each year the competition prize pool gets bigger and better as acts take to the stage and battle it out for equipment, festival slots, clothing, studio time and master classes. The competition’s aim is to find potential recording artists. Over 10,000 acts entered the competition last year and the Grand Final saw acts showcase their music in front of thousands of audience members and the judging panel which included Slade’s legendary front man Noddy Holder, Radio 1’s Annie Nightingale, Kerrang’s Alex Baker and RnB star Shola Ama. Judges set to join the panel in 2011 include Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, Radio 1’s Tom Deacon, Happy Mondays star Bez and Nigel Clarke from 90’s Brit pop band Dodgy.
