Hot press seeks new face of 2015

Hot Press wants to unearth the very best Of Ireland’s hot new emerging talents For 2015.

THE BIG BREAK is back with a bang! Now in its third year, the competition – run in association with ALCATEL ONETOUCH – offers the ultimate prize for any hot musical prospect. Because the winners of THE BIG BREAK will appear on the cover of Hot Press, bringing them immediately to the attention of agents, record companies, promoters, the media and more throughout Ireland, the UK, America – and indeed beyond.

The two previous winners Katie Laffan and Rocstrong have reaped the benefits of the ALCATEL ONETOUCH and Hot Press partnership and both have been widely tipped for stardom in 2015.

Since a fender-wielding Rory Gallagher appeared on the cover of the very first Hot Press in 1977, it has since become a hallowed spot in rock ‘n’ roll, graced by Irish and international acts including U2, The Script, Oasis, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Florence and the Machine, Ed Sheeran, Imelda May and Hozier. There have also been iconic Hot Press covers accompanying interviews with music royalty.

Not only will the talented act get their chance to appear on a Hot Press flip-cover but they’ll also be invited to play at a special gig to launch their first ever cover and play with a very special guest.

It all means The Big Break, in association with ALCATEL ONETOUCH, is the stuff of which dreams – and careers – are made.

The competition is also open to school students who have every chance of getting on the cover – but if they don’t win the overall prize there’ll also be a separate schools prize which will include Hot Press coverage and Alcatel ONETOUCH prizes.

To enter, acts simply need to head over to www.hotpress.com/thebigbreak and submit an mp3, along with a pic and few sentences as to why they should be on the Hot Press flip cover.

The future starts here!
