There will be backstage dramas, pushy parents and acts going awol, it is from the makers of Pineapple studios and Airline, with the mix of the x factor and the apprentice.
The open Mic competition was founded by Chris Grayston he said “The Open Mic UK shows really can range from the sublime to the ridiculous, and that’s just on stage! Backstage can be just as entertaining with the Open Mic UK staff trying to coordinate hundreds of wannabe pop stars.”

Birdy won the contest before and has had 2 hit singles and is a favourite on radio 1. Last year Hatty Keane won the under 18 comp and runner up of the overall competition last year. Hatty has performed alongside the likes of tinchy stryder, Roll Deep and she is set to support Ed Sheeran and Wretch 32 in the coming months.
