Applications for T Break – the process which selects acts for the T Break Stage at T in the Park – are now being sought.

16 acts – selected by “music industry expert judges” – will go through to play at Balado in what is the 19th incarnation of the competition, and Scottish-based bands and solo artists keen to follow in the footsteps of Macrocosmica (pictured), Magnetic North Pole and ballboy can enter their demos now.

The deadline for entries is Monday 31st March and entrants must be 18 or over, based in Scotland, unsigned and recording original music. Demo entry forms and a Soundcloud link to three tunes are what the prganisre require – entry forms are available at www.facebook.com/TennentsTBreak and www.tennents.com/tbreak
