A band will give an unsigned group or artist a supporting slot at a legendary London venue when they play a sold-out gig where all tickets cost £1.
Only the Poets, from Reading, Berkshire, and Banbury, Oxfordshire, charged £1 for their first gig seven years ago and will again when they perform at the O2 Academy Brixton on 2 February.
The four-piece will comb through acts ahead of shortlisting five of them who will be invited to play at Reading’s Purple Turtle on 31 January. Fans will then choose the support act.
The indie pop band, first featured on BBC Introducing, have supported Lewis Capaldi, Yungblud and Bastille and their debut album And I’d Do It Again will be released on 30 January.
