Our Homegrown stages give top Teesside talent the chance to show y'all what they can do. We put the call out for bands to play and more than 200 - yes, 200! - sent in demos. We received MP3s, CDs and even a tape (it's 2010, come on!) and after days upon days of listening, short-listing and debating, we drew up two brilliant line ups – step forward Homegrown Outdoor and Homegrown Underground. For the second year running, we're also over the moon to welcome two splendid German bands courtesy of collaboration with Olgas Rock Festival in Oberhausen. MML goes international.
How good is that?!
