UNSIGNED BANDS:
Part of the Halfmoon's programme has always been unsigned bands that are on the way up. This is something we continue to support. We are only interested in bands that seriously see a future for themselves in music. If you have formed a band for a hobby, for just good fun and have no interest in taking it further and getting signed etc., then we wish you the best of luck but the Halfmoon is probably not the venue for you

HERE'S THE IMPORTANT BIT:
The Halfmoon's capacity is 200 and it costs the venue money to put on gigs, even before doors open. Therefore it is essential that bands already have a following in London. If you're an unsigned band you realistically need a minimum of 50 people to make the gig worth your while. We offer a very generous and fair door deal to encourage this, and the more people you get the more the split increases in your favour.

However, if you are not confident that you will be able to attract at least the 50 mark, then perhaps you should try some of the smaller capacity venues on the circuit first.

We also recommend you read the unsigned FAQs and our Tips, and highly recommend you read the 'How To' pages on the Radio 1 Unsigned website.
