Having launched to a phenomenal response on the 21st May through www.supajam.com/ fasttrack, the ultimate unsigned band competition ‘Fast Track to FIB Heineken’ is estatic to announce that JKLMNO have fought off the stiff competition and won the gig of a lifetime at The Benicassim Music Festival.
From over 1,000 original entries JKLMNO will play alongside festival legends Morrissey, Gnarls Barkley, My Bloody Valentine and many more at this year’s Benicassim Music Festival on 20th July.
The nail-biting final stage of the competition took place on 1st July at the Pigalle Club, London where the 5 hotly-tipped finalists performed in front of a sell out crowd and a panel of music industry experts led by festival legend Vince Power and consisting of; Loaded Magazine creator James Brown, SupaJam founder David Court, Julie Cullen of BBC 6 Music / BBC News 24 and Kelly Chappell of Live Nation. After much nail-biting deliberation these 5 music industry tastemakers decided that JKLMNO’s phenomenal live set just set them apart from the 4 other outstanding bands on the night to take the 1st prize.
Well done JKLMNO, a thoroughly deserved victory and a big thank you to everyone who made this such a memorable night!
The 4 unlucky runners-up didn’t go home empty handed as Vince Power announced they would all receive VIP backstage passes to this year’s Benicassim festival.
