Andrew Harrison, told us “There’s a wealth of thrilling talent around in British music now, but young bands often find it hard to cut through the noise and get noticed. So we’ve handpicked a selection of exceptional new artists and we’re giving them a new kind of exposure. Linked to social media and playlists, these digital billboards are a brand new way to discover your new favourite band.”
Janet Guest, Editorial Director at JCDecaux added “In the digital world there are more ways than ever to discover new bands, and British music has never been as diverse as it is now. Our digital screens reach 40% of the UK population and so we wanted to use them to bring musical inspiration to the public when they are out and about this June. Andrew has chosen a broad spread from pop to alternative, and they’re all making an impact in different ways, so there will be something for everyone.”
