a chance to play at Glastonbury Festival

Glastonbury Festival are offering all aspiring musicians who are coming to Glastonbury this year a chance to play on the Greenpeace stage this year.

Greenpeace have teamed up with Cowshed Studio London and Mi7 Records at this year's Festival to create an opportunity for all aspiring musicians who are attending Glastonbury this year a chance to use a world-class recording studio and appear on two performance stages.

The stages will be made available to unsigned acts coming to the Festival, both to play and participate in song writing and other workshops. From these performances, eight acts a day will be chosen by audience vote to record in a purpose built studio overseen by professional producers, using vintage instruments and state of the art equipment.

Greenpeace are encouraging all writers, musicians and vocalists to participate under the theme 'Raising Voices', using their skills to promote positive change and in the process, create a body of work intended to stimulate interest in the protest song.

After five days of making music Greenpeace are also hoping that a new song will be composed and recorded during the festival which can be used around the world to celebrate the launch of the new Rainbow Warrior flagship when she joins the Greenpeace fleet later this year.
