About The Surface Unsigned Festival is an annual music industry event providing a gateway for artists to perform on international stages in front of industry representatives. The Festival brings together all aspects of the UK music industry and is a major event in the unsigned music calendar.

Surface Unsigned Festival events in 2008 will be held in the North (Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds), the Midlands (Birmingham, Wolverhampton) and the South (London, Reading, Brighton) making it the biggest event of its kind. For bands that reach the final stages of the festival both Surface Unsigned and our sponsors will award the musicians with prizes, studio time and endorsement deals amounting to tens of thousands of pounds.

Surface Unsigned provides the venue, technical organization, sound tech, stage manager, lighting technician, presenter and every other aspect of organization i.e. P.A., microphones, stage monitors etc. but also the backline (guitar & bass amps, drum set, cymbals). We also invite a journalist to every gig, who will write a review on your band, which is then published on our website. The top 14 bands also get a feature in the Surface Unsigned Magazine, of which 10,000 copies are distributed nationwide once the Festival is over.
