This year it will be 21 years of T Break T in the Park's grassroots music initiative which began in 1996, and searches for Scotland's freshest unsigned musical talent.

Any unsigned musical act, band and solo artist, is eligible to enter T Break, provided they are resident in Scotland, over the age of 18 and performing original material.

Not only will the successful 16 acts get the chance to play the T Break Stage in front of the legendary T in the Park crowd, they will also gain exposure to many influential music industry insiders and benefit from the many press and PR opportunities T Break has to offer, I would encourage any unsigned act in Scotland, who believe they have what it takes, to enter now."
Dave McGeachan from T Break partners DF Concerts, sits on the judging panel. He said, "T Break is a highlight for me every year, working as Senior Promoter at DF Concerts I see a lot of up and coming acts from all over the world, but there is something great about taking the time to see a snapshot of what’s coming through in Scotland every year. I’m never disappointed! I’m already looking forward to seeing what this year’s acts have in store."
