The Futuresound “Ones to Watch” competition kicks off it’s residency at The Wardobe in Leeds tonight with three superb artists bidding for a coveted spot at this August’s Leeds Festival. There will be 12 incredible heats, each consisting of three of the best young artists on the scene at the moment. Although different genres, styles and musical abilities, all 36 bands have one thing in common, the dream of playing at Leeds Festival 2017. Each night promises to be special and we promise to bring you as much coverage as we humanly can (any events with a star we’ll be there)! Here’s all the details you need to know for each night.

I’m sure you’ll agree, what Futuresound have concocted is rather superb.
