In a week the entry period for this year's T Break competition will close for Scotland’s unsigned acts.

T Break provides artists with an unrivalled platform to showcase their talent and has proved to be a springboard for previous acts that have played the stage.

T Break 2013 acts have had huge success since playing the T Break Stage last year with rock duo Honeyblood heading out on a US tour, including a date at SXSW and The Merrylees supporting Paul Weller on his Forestlive tour dates this summer.

In addition two T Break 2013 bands, Machines in Heaven and Hector Bizerk scooped Best Electro and Best Hip Hop awards at last month’s Scottish Alternative Music Awards.

T Break 2013 band, Machines in Heaven said, “We had an incredible time playing the T Break Stage in 2013, it was great getting to see what it’s like to be involved in such a big festival. Playing T Break has hugely increased our profile and in March we’re releasing our debut album.” A judging panel of 14 of Scotland’s most respected and influential music industry experts will then listen to each demo before selecting the final 16 acts who will go on to join the line-up for T in the Park 2014 and land themselves a highly coveted slot on the T Break Stage.

George Kyle, Head of Sponsorship for Tennent’s Lager, said: “There is always an excitement and anticipation around T Break and we can’t wait to hear what Scotland’s unsigned acts have to offer this year. Don’t miss your chance, enter now!” Some of the world’s biggest acts are already confirmed for the T in the Park 2014 over 11th – 13th of July, including Biffy Clyro, Calvin Harris, Arctic Monkeys, Paolo Nutini and Pharell Williams.
