Play at London Festivals This Summer

Want to play at London festivals this summer? Well now you can as Live and Unsigned joins forces with new London festival partners K FESTIVAL and Z-FEST. These prestigious festivals will give four lucky Live and Unsigned winners the chance to play at the events and entertain the masses!

Two acts from the Live and Unsigned Hayes Area Finals on 15th May will play Harrow’s very own K Festival, which features an explosive line up of undiscovered and emerging musicians, whilst two other acts will head for Z Fest, a three day event showcasing 40 bands and artists from London’s unsigned music scene.

Taking place on 16th July, K Festival will feature a diverse range of music, art and emerging talent from the local area and across the country. As well as the excitement of the big stage, the festival will also be the hub for an array of exciting sporting activities, locally produced food, and art, craft and branded fashion wear stalls. Bands on the bill include MISDIRECTORS and THE SUBURBIANS with more acts to be announced.

Z-FEST, 27th - 29th May, will highlight up and coming talent in the shape of JIMMMY CASH GROUP, STAX DEMPSEY, THE NO-ONES and YOUNG ROB and cover a range of music genres from folk to metal! What’s more, a portion of the proceeds will go towards supporting local and national charities.

Over 10,000 bands and acts enter the Live and Unsigned Music competition each year and compete to be named the UK’s best Live and Unsigned act. All acts in the competition are auditioned live which is what makes Live and Unsigned so unique, there are no demos or submissions.

Contestants get to perform to industry judges, A&R associates and celebrity guests in some of the UK's most prestigious venues. Along the way there are opportunities for bands to prove their mettle and get their hands on the coveted slots at K Festival and Z-FEST.

Chris Grayston, Events Director for Live and Unsigned said: “We’re looking forward to working with K Festival and Z-FEST and once again helping to promote strong emerging talent with Live and Unsigned. Both London festivals look set to be awesome events and music lovers should have a great time watching a whole host of live acts this summer.”
