Glastonbury festival has today announced the shortlist for its 2024 Emerging Talent Competition, supported by PRS for Music and the PRS Foundation. The 90 shortlisted acts were chosen by a judging panel of 30 music writers from across the UK, including Under the Radar's Dom Gourlay.

These acts will now be whittled down to a shortlist of just 8 acts who will compete in the live finals in April for a place on one of the main stages at this year's festival. Competition winners will also receive a PRS £5,000 Music Foundation Talent Development Award to help take their composition and performance to the next level. Two runners-up will also be awarded a £2,500 PRS for Music Foundation Talent Development award.
