HUDDERSFIELD bands’ chance to play at Leeds and Reading Festival has arrived.
The annual Futuresound battle of the bands contest at Leeds Cockpit has opened for entries. This year, the overall winner will for the first time play on the NME/Radio 1 Stage alongside the likes of At The Drive In and local heroes The Cribs.
The five runners up will get the opportunity to play at both festivals on the BBC Introducing stages.
The competition, now in its 12th year, will take place on 15 dates running from the end of June and over the course of July featuring a four band line-up each night.
Each gig will be judged by three judges from within the Leeds music Industry. Entry forms can be found via www.thecockpit.co.uk
