We are really excited that once again Portsmouth acts will have the opportunity to enter a Road to Blissfields event to win a slot at the festival this summer.

It's Blissfields very own Battle of the Bands which also takes place in Brighton, Basingstoke, Reading, Southampton and Winchester with one act chosen to play from each town/city.

All the info for applying to be chosen to play is here: http://blissfields.co.uk/road-to-blissfields-2012 . Applications close Saturday 31 January 2012.

Applications will be listened to by early February and the shortlisted acts (four) will be invited to play a 30-minute set at the Edge of the Wedge on Friday 27 April 2012 and the winner plays Blissfields Festival - it's that simple!

ALL GENRES OF MUSIC ARE WELCOME!

Good luck!
