2012 marks the 6th season of Red Bull Bedroom Jam and the competition is now open!

Redbull Bedroom Jam takes unsigned bands from the bedroom to the stage and 2012 marks a new chapter in the program.

Among its other benefits, the competition will now give 3 successful bands the chance to devise, create and produce their very own high spec music video with a team of industry professionals.

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.

One band will be chosen each week for 15 weeks, using the Buzz Chart system. These bands will have the Bedroom Jam team come and record a live show direct from their bedrooms!

From these 15 bands, 8 will be chosen by the panel of judges to play the festival tour and at the end of the festival season the judges will choose three finalists. Each of these will have a TV-quality music video made for them then the final 3 will go head to head in a live final to see who walks away as the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Champion!
