This morning saw the announcement of some more information added to this years Red Bull Bedroom Jam Experience. Read details here below:
“2012 marks the 6th season of Red Bull Bedroom Jam, the platform that takes unsigned bands from the bedroom to the stage. Evolving each year, 2012 marks a new chapter in the program which, among its many others benefits, will now give 3 successful bands the chance to devise, create and produce their very own high spec music video in conjunction with a team of industry professionals – so this year there’s even more reason to get uploading!
As always, this year’s Red Bull Bedroom Jam will be giving 8 bands the chance to play four of the UK’s best summer festivals – Slam Dunk, Hevy, Download and Sonisphere. In addition to this, the overall champion will then get studio time in the state-of-the-art recording space, Red Bull Studios London and a support slot of a major artist’s UK wide tour.
To kick off the 2012 season, from Monday 30th January 15 weekly shows will present the best of this year’s entries before it goes to the vote on who will make it through to the festival stage. Hosting the shows this year is Kerrang!’s new bands editor and rock connoisseur, Katie P. The judging panel who will be helping pick the cream of the crop to go through to the festival stage and later, the live final is: editor Ben Patashnik (Rock Sound), festival booker Andy Copping (Download Festival) and rock agent Becky Sugden (The Agency Group).”
How exciting!! Now here below are all the details you need to enter and how the experience works!

Last years winners Page 44 commented on their experience in 2011:
“It was incredible – absolutely amazing. Joining The Blackout and We Are The Ocean on tour was something we could never have dreamed of without the help of Red Bull Bedroom Jam. We’ve experienced so much and have so much to show since entering – we’ve really developed as a band!”
