best festivals for unsigned bands?
anyone got any ideas what are the best festivals to see new up and coming, un-signed bands?
Truck
maybe? or the Great Escape, which you've just missed.
woolfire was great last year
there were a few good acts there
Underage
if your underage that is! smaller tents at glasto and field day had a few on last year
latitude has a really good stage for small bands....
mostly unsigned, the ones that are signed are still fresh off the block, eg. The Wave Pictures, Errors...
shame its sold out.
masses
of the bands at indietracks are unsigned, so I'm saying that one.
the same wave pictures
who've been around 10 years or so, you mean?
underage
but this year i dont think itll be very good (rararara kids)hence iam not going.
Beachdown Festival
has a brighton stage which are the 20 or so best (or most connected) brighton bands. pretty much all unsigned if that floats your boat.
i like this
i'm glad you said most connected, because how good you actually are has nothing to do with getting shows or a record deal or popularity or anything.
