With just one week to go until Tennent's Lager's close T Break for entries, unsigned acts - who have what it takes to showcase their music to fans and music industry experts alike on the T Break Stage at T In The Park this summer – are running out of time! There is just one week left to enter atwww.tennents.com/tbreak or www.facebook.com/tennentstbreak.

Each year Tennent's Lager offer 16 of the countries freshest unsigned acts the chance to join some of the world's biggest artists, on the T In The Park bill. With the Easter bank holiday on the horizon, Tennent's Lager are encouraging Scotland's unsigned musicians to send in their recordings, and if they don't have recordings, what better way to spend the long weekend? Entry closes atmidnight on Monday 6th April.

A judging panel of 16 of Scotland's most respected and influential music industry experts will then listen to each demo before selecting the final 16 acts who will go on to join the line-up for T In The Park 2015 and land themselves a highly coveted slot on the T Break Stage on this, T Break's landmark 20th year.

Some of the world's biggest acts are already confirmed for the T In The Park 2015 over 10th – 12th of July, including Kasabian, David Guetta, Avicii, The Libertines, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and The Prodigy, to name but a few!

George Kyle, Head of Sponsorship for Tennent's Lager, said: "T Break has been an incredible journey over the past 20 years, so many talented musicians have come through T Break and we are incredibly proud of every one of them, some have gone on to enjoy global success such as Biffy Clyro and Snow Patrol but all have contributed to a fantastic T Break history and I can't encourage Scotland's unsigned musicians enough, no matter what genre, APPLY NOW! You never know where it might lead."

T Break provides artists with an unrivalled platform to showcase their talent and has proved to be a springboard for a number of previous T Break bands including Honeyblood, Hector Bizerk, United Fruit and Fatherson who have just got back from very successful trips to SXWS in Austin, Texas.

Rory Fleming-Stewart from T Break 2014 band, Model Aeroplanes said: "What Tennent's are doing with T Break is essential, it's a fantastic idea, it's done so much good, so many bands wouldn't be where they are today without it."
