Rock The Park!

Fancy playing at one of the area's biggest open air concerts?

The Gazette, in conjunction with SGR Colchester and Snake in the Grass, are holding a competition to find two bands to play at this year's Party in the Park concerts - and one of them could be your group.

With a change in format, this year's event kicks-off with a raft of local bands on the Friday night, showing why Colchester is still one of the most exciting places for home-grown musical talent.

Headlined by Saltdog, other bands on the bill at the moment include the award winning ska collective New Town Kings, and up-and-coming rock group Streetlight Youth.

Two more slots are to be filled by the winners of our Rock the Park competition - but if you want to be in with a chance of getting on stage in front of hundreds of people, you need to act fast.

To enter you will need to register below by emailing us with a colour picture, a brief biography of your band and up to three sample tracks.

The closing date for entries is May 23 after which the best five will be selected by a panel of judges to go forward to an online vote.

Voting will last another three weeks before we announce the top two bands who will join the other three on stage in Colchester's Lower Castle Park on July 25.
