16 of Scotland’s freshest acts announced to play legendary T Break Stage @ T in the Park Tennent’s Lager put out their annual call in March for Scotland’s unsigned acts to submit their demos to T Break in the hope of landing one of 16 highly coveted slots on the T Break Stage at T in the Park, and they have now announced who will be taking to the legendary stage this summer. T Break’s judging panel is made up of 14 of Scotland’s most respected and influential music industry experts who listen to each and every track submitted before coming together to deliberate their shortlists. The judges then decide on the final 16 acts - who will potentially follow in the footsteps of this year’s T in the Park headliner and former T Break band Biffy Clyro - to make up the T Break 2014 line-up. Simon Neil, Biffy Clyro front man said of their T Break performance in 1999, “It was probably one of the biggest moments of our lives, even now looking back, that first time you feel like a real band is phenomenal… that was literally the break, T gave us the break” Dave McGeachan, Senior Promoter from T Break partners DF Concerts sits on the judging panel. He said: “This is an incredibly strong year for Scottish music and the talent coming out of Scotland’s grassroots music scene in particular is of a very high standard. I feel we’ve managed to get a really great representation across many different genres with this year’s selection and I look forward to seeing some excellent live performances over the weekend." T Break was launched by Tennent’s in 1996 and has been uncovering Scotland’s freshest unsigned talent and giving them a platform to showcase their music on the T Break Stage at T in the Park ever since. Each year, 16 bands are handpicked from almost a thousand entries by a panel of Scotland’s industry experts and given the chance to play the T Break Stage To find out more about the acts on the T Break 2014 line-up, check out www.facebook.com/TennentsTBreak and www.tennents.com/tbreak
