Wight Noize Finalists Announced – Here Are The Seven Acts Battling For Main Stage Slot!

Following a successful period of applications from local artists, the Wight Noize shortlist has been announced.

Thursday April 25 will see Strings Bar & Venue play host to the Wight Noize Live Showcase, in which seven successful acts will perform a 20-minute set of original music to an industry panel.

The panel will then choose an overall winner at the end of the evening.

Applicants were required to submit via the Amplead portal, which asked for links to recordings, live videos and social media links.

The judges have taken all this into consideration and have shortlisted the following acts to perform at the live showcase:

Marnie Marie, Georgia Nicole, Chum, Five Degrees North, Jaded, Amy Jolliffe and Ruby.

As well as the winner opening the mainstage on Sunday June 23, all of the finalists will have the opportunity to play on the Platform One Stage over the weekend.

Platform One has been involved in the festival since its rebirth in 2002.

Opportunities for young musicians at the festival have evolved each year thanks to the commitment of John Giddings, who is one of Platform One’s
patrons.

John, Managing Director of Solo, said:

“I am very proud to be a patron of Platform One. 

"I think they do an incredible job of preparing young musicians for the reality of the music industry. 

"I like helping people and my work with Platform One feels the right thing to do - they have integrity, and they are good at what they do.”

The general public are encouraged to come and support the finalists, with doors at 6:30pm and the first act on at 7pm. Tickets can be bought in advance online.

This is a 16+ event.
