From an initial longlist of 120, the final eight acts in with a chance of being named Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent for 2014 and landing a place at the festival this June have been revealed.
“We’re so proud of this shortlist,” co-organiser Emily Eavis enthuses.
“It was really hard to get it down to just eight acts – the standard this year was incredible – but I think we’ve whittled it down to a really strong final eight. I’d like to say a big thanks to everyone who entered, and to our team of judges for narrowing it down to 120 acts. Now bring on the live final!”
That live final is to be held very soon, with the overall winner being announced on April 5th. Those acts still standing are The Black Tambourines, Pandr Eyez, Gibson Bull, Hero-Fisher, Only Girl, M+A, FURS and Izzy Bizu.
