Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Longlist for 2019 has been revealed.
Glastonbury have pulled together a handy playlist of those longlisted acts - featuring Best Fit picks IMOGEN, Shunaji, Yassassin, iiola, Iyamah and Stanza Divan - which you can listen to below. You can read more about the full list here.
Picked by a judging panel of 30 music writers, these 90 acts will now be whittled down to a shortlist of just 8 acts who will compete at April’s live finals for a slot on one of the main stages at this year’s Festival. The winners of the competition will also be awarded a £5,000 PRS for Music Foundation Talent Development prize, to help take their songwriting and performing to the next level. Two runners-up will also each be awarded a £2,500 PRS for Music Foundation Talent Development prize.
Glastonbury Festival 2019 takes place from 26-30 June at Worthy Farm.
