Sky 1 have announced a stellar line up for its new series Must Be The Music. The judging panel will include the current golden boy of the British music scene Dizzee Rascal, multiple award-winning singer, pianist and multi-instrumentalist Jamie Cullum and chart topping singer/songwriter Sharleen Spiteri.

The judges and host will be attending auditions in London, Manchester and Edinburgh over June and July in the search for the UK’s best music act – any age, any song, any style. The series, open to all musicians and singers no matter what type of music they play, is set to air in early August 2010 and its unique new format hands back control to the artists themselves, empowered by creative support, promotional advice and a cash fund of £100,000 to kick start their career.

The Applause Store have secured a limited amount of audience tickets for the audition stages of the show. If you would like to be there and see Dizzee, Charlene, Jamie and presenter Fearne Cotton in action in London’s Hackney Empire then apply via the Applause Store website here. Auditions take place next week, dates and times included below.
