Live Music That Hits the Right Note

From backstage to centre stage

Got a band that’s been gigging in garages and dreaming of bigger stages? This is your moment. Untapped is the UK’s biggest grassroots music competition happening in actual pubs, not backroom basements or awkward village halls.

Here’s how it works:

  • Enter your band via our online form. We’ll ask for the basics - plus a track or two to see what you’re made of
  • Play a live heat at your local pub. Expect packed rooms, roaring crowds, and real-time feedback (cheers or... helpful silence)
  • Win your regional final and earn your place at the [INSERT FINAL VENUE] where the best of the best will go head-to-head
  • Battle it out to win and claim £10,000, the chance to tour, plus major bragging rights."

Rock 'n' Roll to a JD & Coke

We love a drink with a story, especially one that gives back. That’s why every time you order a Jack Daniels & Coca-Cola, we’re donating 10p to the Music Venue Trust.

That means every sip you take helps support something bigger, whether it's community music projects or charities that keep young talent on track. So when you raise your glass, you’re not just toasting a great night, you’re backing future legends.

Support with every sip - ask for JD & Coke at the bar.
