A team of tastemakers from across Scotland created a shortlist of 23 acts from over 120 applications, with an international panel including bookers from SXSW, ESNS, New Colossus Festival and ART Mania, selecting the final six who will also take part in the Wide Days artist development programme supported by PRS Foundation.
This yearâs cohort are: dreamy pop artist, Alex Amor, experimental folk artist Constant Follower, poetic crooner Hamish Hawk, anthemic rockers Mason Hill, trad-infused jazzer Matt Carmichaeland jazz DJ-producer and label founder, Rebecca Vasmant. Their shows will stream on Thursday and Friday evenings and Wide Days will also be screening performances by 2020 artist Magpie Blue, who was forced to cancel, as well as her last-minute replacement, Scout.
