More bands to be announced soon – keep watching this space!

It’s all my fault.

It’s typical isn’t it? The only band I’ve posted a blog about so far have had to pull out. Clearly my fault for being excited about seeing them!

But yes, unfortunately Alphabeat have had to pull out of Music Live due to television commitments. Last year Foals pulled out for the same reason; TV has a lot to answer for.

HOWEVER!

Replacing Alphabeat on the main stage will be The Delays. Switswoo!

Alphabeat…

So, I was just checking my emails and who’d have thought it; Middlesbrough Music Live confirmees Alphabeat are MSN’s featured band today…

“The finest purveyors of pure pop pleasure since Wham…” apparently, but don’t let that put you off! Check out the video to their debut UK single ‘Fascination’ which reached number five in the singles chart:

Burn baby burn!

So yeah, we’ve announced the headliner. ISN’T THAT EXCITING!?

Local band stages…

Hullo.

We were hoping to announce the line ups for the TMA local band stages this Wednesday but due to the phenomenal response and high standard of demos, its taking us a bit longer to figure out who’s going to play this year. Seriously, where did all these bands pop up from!? Quality stuff.

We promise you’ll all get to know the TMA line ups sometime soon – give us a week or two and we’ll let you know when the announcement will be.

In other news, if you like pop-punk, you are going to LOVE who we’ve just confirmed as co-headliners on the rock stage. Blimey. Just you wait!There’s been a fair few bands confirmed recently but we’re keeping it all close to our chest for the time being. There’s a few rumours/self confirmations mentioned on the forum though, so if you’re feeling nosey, go have a look… http://www.tenfeettall.proboards105.com/index.cgi

Cheerio.
