The Tri-borough Music Hub and The Rhythm Studio are pleased to announce details of the Tri-borough Future Sounds competition for 2025.

This competition is for young musicians in Hammersmith & Fulham; Kensington & Chelsea; and Westminster. It is organised and run by the Tri-borough Music Hub in partnership with The Rhythm Studio, with a host of supporters involved with judging, prizes, and links to the music industry.

How will it work?

  • Any pop music act may enter the competition (band, solo artist, rapper, duo, trio…)

  • All acts will be invited to perform at a prelim event which will be judged by the Music Hub and The Rhythm Studio

  • Acts can perform one song at the prelim event – original or cover

  • A selection of 7 Acts will be shortlisted for the final.

  • The 7 finalists will be invited to perform two songs at Bush Hall for the finale, one original and one cover, with winners and prizes announced.

Who is this event for?

  • Pupils of secondary school age, 11-18, that attend a state-maintained school (including Free schools and Academies) in one of the three Tri-borough Local Authorities (RBKC, WCC, LBHF).

  • Pupils who have their own bands outside of school (e.g. groups that contain pupils from multiple schools) must contain 50% or more members that are Tri-borough area residents or attend a Tri-borough state-maintained school (including Free schools and Academies).
