Glastonbury 2023 emerging talent competition finalists revealed
Prima Queen, VLURE and The Love Buzz are among the names announced for the final of this year's Emerging Talent Competition, which gives new UK and Ireland-based acts the chance to compete for a slot at Glastonbury Festival.
The three bands join Cordelia Gartside, EVA, FFSYTHO?!, Naomi Kimpenu, N’famady Kouyaté along with Ezra Williams (FKA Smoothboi Ezra) – who was forced to miss last year’s live final through illness.
The nine acts were selected by Glastonbury judges from the longlist of 90 artists which was compiled by 30 of the UK’s best online music writers.
The winners of the free-to-enter competition will also be awarded a £5,000 Talent Development prize from PRS Foundation to help take their songwriting and performing to the next level. Two runners-up will also each be awarded a £2,500 PRS Foundation Talent Development prize.
This year’s invite-only final will take place on Saturday 29 April, 2023.
