πŸ“Œ Important Info
  • Perform as many times as you like during the month
  • You can only win once per month
  • No audience = no winner
  • Arrive early if you’re planning to walk in

This night only works because of the crowd.

Let’s build something big for Leighton Buzzard.


*The competition runs over 4 weeks, with up to 8 performers each week.

Each weekly winner will receive a 30-minute headline set, and all weekly winners will return to perform on the same night at the end of the 4-week run for the Grand Final - date to be announced.

At the final, after all winners perform their 30-minute sets, the act with the highest overall points will be crowned the overall winner and awarded a 45-minute headline slot worth Β£100 at The Wheatsheaf.

If performing as a duo or band, the prize will be shared equally between the members.
