Roundhouse Unsigned is back and Studio 3 Arts are working with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’s Roundhouse Music Festival to celebrate and platform local music talent in the borough, East London, Essex, and beyond.
Whether you play rock, rap, pop, punk, grunge, grime, hip-hop, house, or everything and anything in between, Roundhouse Unsigned is looking for bands and musicians who want to perform live in the borough and compete to win a cash prize and exciting gig opportunities.
Roundhouse Unsigned is open to solo artists, bands, and groups from all styles, all genres and all levels of experience. The winner will receive a £500 prize and the opportunity for a headline slot at the new-look Studio 3 Arts venue (opening later in 2022). Entries are open now, due by 5pm on Tuesday 3rd May.
To apply, acts should send a weblink (not audio files) of your original music, a photo and a 50-word biog to [email protected]
Competition heats weekend is 19-21 May 2022 at Studio 3 Arts. The semi final takes place on 24 June live at the legendary Roundhouse in Dagenham. Musicians that make it through will compete in the Live Final at the Roundhouse Music Festival on Sunday 24 July 2022, 12pm-9.30pm at Parsloes Park. The previous winners of Roundhouse Unsigned, Outland who won in 2021, will also be performing at the Live Final.
About the competition’s return, Liza Vallance, Artistic Director and CEO of Studio 3 Arts says: “Easily one of my annual highlights. It’s just so exciting to bring together the UK’s finest unsigned acts in a celebration of music in all its forms. Last year over 70 acts applied, I can’t wait to see who comes through the door this year. Let’s make 2022 the biggest year yet. See you at the heats!’
Celebrating the rich musical history of the borough’s Roundhouse pub which has played host to some of the world’s most famous rock bands (including Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Pink Floyd), the Roundhouse Music Festival is back for 2022. Produced by London Borough of Barking & Dagenham’s Summer of Festivals, other acts appearing on stage at the Roundhouse Music Festival include The Animals , Showaddywaddy , Dave Finnegan’s Commitments, and Real Magic Queen - Tribute to Queen
