Play End of the Road Festival 2010
This September will see the fifth End of the Road Festival and once again we will be championing new and unsigned talent at the festival. We would like to celebrate all those bands and labels out there who, like us embrace the DIY ethos, get out there and do it themselves - putting out their own records, booking tours and doing it all for the love of music!
We can’t take direct applications to either Simon or Sofia, and hence we have set up the procedure below to make sure that we are fair on everybody! It worked really well in 2009, and we had over 900 applications!
Our friend Ro is in charge, and all applications need to be sent to him on the email below, and make sure to follow the ‘rules’… and don’t worry if you don’t have any biog, press release or reviews… it really is the MUSIC that talks!
Application Rules / Procedure – please note deadline 01.05.2010:
