Newsflash: T Break 2010 open for entries

It's that time of year again. Following last month's announcement of the headliners and big-hitters, T in the Park now wants to fill out the smaller stages, starting with the long-running T Break.

Today the organisers launch the hunt for 16 unsigned bands to play the Balado festival, chosen by a panel of industry experts.

Want to get involved? Here's the spiel:

"T Break is open to any unsigned musical act resident in Scotland, provided they are over the age of 18, and performing original material.

To be in with a chance of performing in one of the highly coveted slots on the T Break Stage unsigned bands should go to www.tennents.com/tbreak for full details on how to submit their work. They will be invited to upload a link to their myspace page (or alternatively they will find instruction on how to make a postal submission.) The deadline for submissions is 16th April 2009.

The 16 bands who have been invited to showcase on the T Break Stage at T in the Park will be announced in May."
