The longlist for Glastonbury Festival's 2024 Emerging Talent Competition has been announced.
This year's contest, which launched back in January and is supported by PRS for Music and PRS Foundation, is once again offering new UK and Ireland-based acts the chance to compete for a slot on one of the main stages at this year’s festival.
As well as this coveted gig in June, the winner will also receive a £5,000 Talent Development prize from PRS Foundation to help take their songwriting and performing to the next level. Two runners-up will each receive a £2,500 Talent Development prize from the Foundation.
After artist submissions closed last month, a judging panel made up of 30 of the UK’s best music writers have helped compile a longlist of 90 acts.
A playlist featuring each of the 90 acts is now available to listen to on YouTube, and you can view the full longlist here.
This longlist will be narrowed down to a shortlist of eight artists by judges including Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis, before the winning act is crowned during the live finals in Pilton next month.
Previous winners of the Emerging Talent Competition include N’famady Kouyaté (2023), Marie White (2019) and Declan McKenna (2015).
