Lethal Bizzle Launches Tour Support Competition

Lethal Bizzle is launching a competition to find a separate new act to support him on each night of his upcoming UK tour.

The rapper kicks off his headline tour at the Bristol Thekla on August 6 and winds up at the Southampton Joiners Arms ten days later.

Each stop on the jaunt will hold a separate competition to find a support act, which in typical Lethal Bizzle eclectic style is open to all genres.

The Bizzle said: “I had this idea for the competition because I wanted to give new artists a chance to showcase their music.

“When I was coming up I always wanted the opportunity to perform alongside a big artist. There are loads of unheard talent out there and I am on a platform where I can help.”

Everyone entering the competition must their demo, name & contact details, a myspace address and the city they want to perform in to Box 1231, 78 York Street, London, W1H 1DP. The closing date is July 23.

The tour takes in the following dates:

Bristol Thekla – August 6
Manchester Night & Day – 7
Northampton Soundhaus – 8
Leeds Faversham – 9
Middlesbrough Cornerhouse – 10
Glasgow King Tuts – 12
Newcastle Academy – 14
Leicester Princess Charlotte – 15
Southampton Joiners Arms - 16
