• 6th Jul 2007

The Topman Unsigned Stage returns to the Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival and gives local bands the chance to perform at the festival.

Details of how bands can apply to play on the stage to 70,000 people are below.

Following the success of the Topman Unsigned Stage at last year’s event, festival organisers Mean Fiddler are delighted to announce details of how bands can apply to win a place performing on the Topman Unsigned Stage at Bramham Park this summer.
