Multiple dates throughout 2025
BBC Introducing at The Underground
Catch the next big thing live at Bradford 2025.
BBC Introducing, the BBC’s music discovery platform, will be shining the spotlight on the region’s best unsigned and emerging artists for Bradford 2025.
Across four gigs at Bradford’s Underground, we’ll be hearing from some of the most exciting new bands and singers from Bradford District and around – hand-picked by the tastemakers at BBC Introducing. They’ll be following in the footsteps of Florence + the Machine, Olivia Dean and Sam Fender, just some of the acts who received BBC Introducing support at the start of their careers.
To be in with a chance of being selected to play one of these showcases, artists must be on the BBC Introducing Uploader. Please create a profile for yourself with as much detail as possible along with some of your tracks. More guidance can be found on the BBC Introducing website.
BBC Introducing has been supporting unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar artists since 2007 – on regional radio shows, on national stations from BBC Radio 1 to the BBC Asian Network, and through BBC Introducing stages at festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and Latitude. We’re delighted to be presenting the first BBC Introducing gigs in Bradford as part of Bradford 2025.
