London-based new music festival City Showcase will, for the second time, have an edition in New Zealand this year, from 6-8 Jul. City Showcase: Spotlight New Zealand will take place in Napier, with new bands playing on stages around the city centre, an overall winner from which will be selected by a panel of judges, winning a London gig in 2012 plus a range of industry coaching.
Artists wanting to be considered for a slot at the New Zealand festival should send a web link, a brief biography, full contact details and a photo to City Showcase, PO Box 3217, Onekawa, Napier, or can apply via SonicBids via this link.
Commenting on the competition, Spotlight New Zealand organiser Kevin Murphy told CMU: “This is a chance for talented Kiwis to perform for, not only the public, but also the leaders of the New Zealand music industry”.
Meanwhile, City Showcase Director Nanette Rigg added: “This event presents a fantastic opportunity for the cream of New Zealand’s emerging acts to gain exposure worldwide and become stars of the future”.
