Map of all venues

Last year’s Evolution Unsigned event featured a headline set from Field Music side-project The Week That Was.

This year’s line-up reflects the vast array of emerging talent from all styles of music across the North East, and features a secret special guest headline slot from one of the country’s most talked about new bands Detroit Social Club.

In February, we called out for regional bands and solo artists (from any genre) to apply to play and the response surprised everyone. We received over 220 artist submissions and the standard of entries proves just how thriving the North East music scene is right now.

We will be updating this page with special announcements as it gets closer to the event.
