There is just one week left for Scotland’s unsigned bands and solo artists to submit their demos for the chance of playing the legendary T Break Stage at T in the Park2013. Each year Tennent’s Lager offer 16 of the country’s freshest unsigned acts the chance to join some of the world’s biggest artists on the T in the Park bill. Acts have until midnight on Friday 29^th March to enter T Break 2013.

A judging panel of 14 of Scotland’s most respected and influential music industry experts will then listen to each demo before selecting the final 16 acts who will go on to join the line-up for T in the Park 2013 and land themselves a highly coveted slot on the T Break Stage. Some of the world’s biggest acts are already confirmed for the T in the Park’s 20^th year over 12^th – 14^th July, including headliners Mumford and Sons, Rihanna and The Killers, plus Stereophonics, Calvin Harris, Kraftwerk, Snoop Dogg, alt-J, Two Door Cinema Club, Jake Bugg, The Lumineers, Paloma Faith, Azealia Banks and Haim.

George Kyle, Head of Sponsorship for Tennent’s Lager, said:  “Tennent’s believe passionately in supporting Scotland’s grassroots music scene, there is a wealth of unique, emerging talent in this country.  T Break is one of the highlights of T in the Park year after year and I’m sure this year will be no different. Some of the entries we’ve had so far have been exceptional and there’s still time to enter, so don’t miss out on the chance to be part of T in the Park’s 20^th year – if you are an unsigned artist based in Scotland, send us your demos now!”

T Break provides artists with an unrivalled platform to showcase their talent and has proved to be a huge springboard for previous acts who have played the stage throughout the years. Just last week T Break 2011 band PAWS showcased their material at the world renowned SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.  T Break 2012 band Brown Bear and the Bandits were also named as one of The Scottish Sun’s, ‘Magnificent Seven – Scots acts set to be massive in 2013’.

T Break 2012 band, Brown Bear and the Bandits said: “Playing the T Break Stage in 2012 was a great opportunity for us, not only to play live to a large festival crowd but it also opened doors for us and gained us national exposure in the Scottish press.  Being able to associate ourselves with the T in the Park name has helped us move forward as a band and increase the size of our fan base throughout the country.”

Entrants must be aged 18 or over, live in Scotland, and must be currently unsigned and recording original material. T Break is open to artists of every genre.  Bands and solo artists can submit their demos via Facebook atwww.facebook.com/TennentsTBreak or via the T Break website atwww.tennents.com/tbreak.
