You’ve always wanted to feature on the cover of Ireland’s iconic music
magazine. It is, aſter all, the ultimate opportunity to kick-start your career in a massive way.
WELL, HERE’S YOUR CHANCE…
THE BIG BREAK is back with a bang! Now in its third year, the competition – run in association with ALCATEL ONETOUCH – offers the ultimate prize for any hot musical prospect. Because the winners of THE BIG BREAK will appear on the cover of Hot Press, bringing them immediately to the attention of agents, record companies, promoters, the media and more throughout Ireland, the UK, America – and indeed beyond.
Our two previous winners Katie Laffan and Rocstrong have certainly reaped the benefits of the ALCATEL ONETOUCH and Hot Press partnership.
Both have been widely tipped for stardom in 2015.
Rocstrong in particular has made a huge leap forward over the past year. The Congo-born, Tallaght-raised performer dazzled crowds at his Big Break coronation in Odessa Club last June, matching a wonderfully impressive set from recent Capitol Records’ signing, Gavin James. And he rounded off 2014 with a full-band headline appearance in renowned Dublin venue Whelan’s – where the likes of Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Ed Sheeran also appeared last year.
Of course, it’s not just those rising acts in whose footsteps you’ll be following – since a Fender-wielding Rory Gallagher appeared on the cover of the very first Hot Press in 1977, it has since become a hallowed spot in rock ‘n’ roll, graced by Irish acts including U2, Sinéad O’Connor, Enya, The Script and Hozier. There have also been iconic Hot Press covers accompanying interviews with such international music royalty as Oasis, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, The Clash, The Rolling
Stones, Bon Jovi, 50 Cent, Lady Gaga, Garth Brooks, Guns N’ Roses, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers – and countless others…
It all means The Big Break, in association with ALCATEL ONETOUCH, is the stuff of which dreams – and careers – are made. The future starts here…
