Toploader hunt for unsigned tour support
News: 16th August 2011 by Louise Dodgson under Live
Following the announcement last week of their ‘Only Human’ Tour in October, Toploader now set out to find the best new talent to support them around the UK.
The regional tour will kick off in Coventry on October 1st 2011, just ahead of their soon to be announced, crowd-sourced third single chosen by Toploader fans released on 31st October.
Throughout the tour, the band would like to find local bands in each area to play a support slot in their hometown – and also get to play to a packed out Toploader crowd too! Dan, Joe, Matt and Rob have always been very keen to support new and local talent, knowing that’s how they started in their own hometown and also how a live opportunity can really help a new band break.
All potential support bands need to do is send the following details to vanessa [at] underdogsonline.com before 31st August and we will announce the lucky winners on 1st September 2011.
Name of band
Name of hometown
Tour date and venue you wish to support
No. of members
Contact name and email
Link to audio (MySpace/Facebook/SoundCloud) with preferred track
