Unsigned London – 4 Stages of New Music

A brand new music experience, four years in the making will hit London’s Shoreditch Park in July 2015. After the success of the Unsigned London stage at several London festivals over the past two years, Unsigned London will launch a free stand-alone two-day event showcasing the best of London’s emerging live music talent.

Unsigned London is about all things live, unknown and unsigned yet full of potential. Taking place across four stages, an ensemble of over 150 of the city’s brightest talents in indie, rock, jazz, folk, R&B, reggae, classical and electronic genres will have their opportunity to perform in front of an eclectic audience of music lovers. The four different stages will play host to a selection of the finest news acts in the unsigned music scene.

Championing alternative, indie and rock, expect to see some of London’s rawest bands take to the stage. The Metropolitan Stage line-up is curated by Hot Vox, Dead or Alive, All Nite Long and Slug Couture.

Promoters for this stage include Urban Development, LC Collective, Get Lifted TV, The Garage Door and Team O&U.

London has long been a mecca for music fans of all kinds yet in recent years a combination of venue closures and extortionately priced gigs and festivals have made it all too difficult to stumble into a free gig and discover an amazing new band. Inspired by these challenges, Unsigned London aims to revitalise London’s undiscovered music scene for an exciting weekend of eclectic performances.
