Build a Band 2008

If you're a musician aged 14-18 Youth Music & Rough Trade are offering you the chance to perform on the Left Field stage at the world famous festival

So what’s the catch?
We’ll actually create a brand new band specially put together to perform at Glastonbury and the members won’t meet until the Thursday of the festival! They’ll then write their own song with help from some famous music types and perform it three days later on Sunday, the last night of the festival on the Left Field stage in front of an audience of 5,000!
