UK showcase seeks bands

In The City has been on the run for 15 years now, and has previously showcased the talents of acts like Oasis, The Chemical Brothers, Doves, Coldplay, Elbow and Arctic Monkeys.

The festival also made a once-off visit to Ireland in '96, where Nick Cave, Mundy, The Wedding Present and the Divine Comedy shared the bill along with dance acts like Daft Punk.

The massive music industry convention runs from October 18-20 in Manchester, with up to $1000 available to cover travel costs for international bands.

ITC is now accepting applications from interested unsigned acts – and entry is free! Click here to find out how to submit your demo.
