Want to perform on the iconic Polygon stage? This is your chance!
Polygon is running an emerging artists contest that will give one lucky winner the opportunity to perform a 30-minute set at Polygon Live LDN. Powered by cutting-edge L-Acoustics L-ISA technology, Polygon Live LDN is not only our debut UK event but also the largest outdoor spatial audio festival the UK has ever seen. And we want an exceptional artist with a passion for music, innovation and memorable experiences to be a part of our star-studded line-up.
The contest, called Polygon Live Launch Pad, is free to enter and the prizes (much like the stage) are out of this world.
The contest's three finalists will be invited to attend a workshop at L-Acoustics L-ISA studio in London, and will receive two VIP weekend tickets to Polygon Live LDN, a feature on OpenLab Radio, an invitation to participate in FutureSound's artist development programme with studio access and mentoring, and exclusive swag.
