Surface Unsigned would like to remind any unsigned bands that want to take part in the 2010 Festival you only have until January 31st 2010 to apply. Starting in February, the 2010 Surface Unsigned Festival will tour the UK, giving artists from cities such as Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, London, Brighton and Portsmouth the chance to compete for £60,000 worth of prizes. The eventual winner will pick up £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 quality of the bands that have applied so far for 2010 has been amazing,” says Surface Unsigned managing director Jay Mitchell. “We’ve already started to book acts for this year’s Festival.” Surface is still accepting applications and anyone interested should visit the website at www.surfaceunsigned.co.uk. 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 event’s judging panel is headed by Jon Brookes, drummer of The Charlatans. For bands interested in applying to the 2010 Surface Unsigned Festival please visit www.surfaceunsigned.co.uk and fill out an online application.

Kind Regards,

The Surface Unsigned Team
