Well, it’s one day late, but here is all the information you need to help us through the Surface Festival!
During the festival, bands play in rounds, progressing only if they get enough points to go through. Points can be gained from 4 sources:
- Text Vote = 1 vote
- Audience Vote = 5 votes
- Musician Vote = 20 votes
- Industry Expert Vote = 30 votes
Unfortunately Leeds isn’t a region, so we’ll be playing all our gigs in Manchester. Therefore getting a high number of audience votes is unlikely, but the audience can vote for more than one band so we’ll see. It all depends how friendly Jimmy is on the night!
The first stage is on March 10th at Jabez Clegg, which is opposite the Academy. It’s a great little venue, and we’re really looking forward to playing it.
If you’d like to come (and we hope you do!), you can buy tickets from us at £6. Alternatively, you can text vote; simply text North 2074 to 64343 (making sure there is a space between North and 2074!). Please note you can text vote as many times as you like, so if you can’y make it down on the night, try and vote at least 5 times to make up for an audience vote.
Over the next week we’ll be transforming the site to include more information, and we’ll keep you posted on our progress. We’re really looking forward to this event, hopefully it’ll be good for us!
16+. Texts cost £1.00 plus standard network charges. Please
