A Worthing band will play the O2 Arena after reaching the Live and Unsigned national final.

After battling it out in live heats across the country and beating 10,000 acts which entered the music competition, JAG will play at Live Fest - London's largest indoor festival on July 23.

JAG consists of singer and guitarist Dan Powell, Mark Thompson on lead guitar, drummer James Barron and Jim Davis on bass.

Mr Thompson said: “We are excited. There will be some serious industry bods there. We have got such a great crowd that have followed us throughout.”

Judges include Radio 1 DJ Annie Nightingale. Not only will JAG be performing on stage at Live Fest, but there are also plenty of awards up for grabs, with a prize pool worth up to £100,000.

JAG is hoping for all the support possible to be crowned the UK's best Live and Unsigned act. Tickets are available from www.livefest.co.uk.
