RockStar gives new artists with original material the chance to perform LIVE and win an amazing prize!

The prize includes playing at the world’s biggest music festival, Glastonbury Festival, and recording at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios.

RockStar is free to enter - show the world what you can do!

After winning the final of RockStar 08, the current holders of the RockStar crown, Major Major, played in front of 4,000 people on a bill including the Ting Tings and Franz Ferdinand. They were also the first band announced for Glastonbury Festival 2009 and went on to record at Real World studios.

The competition is open to everyone in the UK who writes and performs fantastic new music of any kind.

Update: 14th May 2009:
Judges for Rockstar 09 will include Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Festivals, Steve Tilley, Kilimanjaro Live and Rob Bozas from Realworld.

Following discussions with Michael and Emily Eavis, the RockStar final will be held on the night of this year's Pilton Party (September 4th 2009). All of this year's finalists will now be playing in front of a crowd of 4,000 people. Last year’s Party was that same gig headlined by Franz Ferdinand and the Ting Tings that Major Major played as RockStar winners, and we are sure Michael and Emily will have some great headliners for us this year. A great big thank you to them both.

Simple - click on How to Enter and you will find the entry form for RockStar 09. Follow the instructions carefully. The closing date for 2009 is 31st May.

24 acts will be chosen by the Glastonbury Festival competition listening panel of 2004-2007 – the same group of listeners who helped launch the careers of acts as diverse as The Subways, Scouting for Girls, Liz Green, Ralfe Band and Ten Bears. The 24 acts will go on to compete in four heats taking place on the weekends of 31st July/1st August and 14th/15th August 2009. The three finalists will be selected to play at the final on 4th September 2009 at The Pilton Party.

The Heats will take place at the Pilton Working Men’s Club in Somerset.

Enter now – for no charge – and keep those dates free. You could be on the way to a very special gig indeed!
