Who will perform at the Awards?
Guests at the European Festival Awards will be treated to performances from the hotly-tipped James Vincent McMorrow, Selah Sue and Dog Is Dead.

James Vincent McMorrow released his debut record, Early in the Morning, in Ireland to widespread critical acclaim in February 2010 and has been described by Q magazine as having song which “sound both fresh and as if they’ve been in your head forever”. Shortlisted for Newcomer of the Year at the UK Festival Awards 2011, he is sure to be a major hit at festivals across Europe in 2012.

Belgian Selah Sue creates soul, funk and reggae melodies and has duetted with Cee‐Lo Green for the song “Please”, which also appeared on on his own album, as well as supporting Prince in Belgium

Shortlisted for the European Festival Awards, Selah Sue belongs to the new generation for whom music has no boundaries, such as Like Janelle Monae, M.I.A. or Aloe Blacc.

The UK’s Dog Is Dead are a five-piece indie pop band from Nottingham, who have described their music as “an original blend of harmonious, indie-pop in the disco, with a cheeky jazz hint” and “uplifting pop for jazz junkies and choir folk”.

They have performed this year at several UK festivals including Bestival, Latitude Festival, Leeds Festival, Reading Festival, Isle of Wight Festival and were on hit British TV series Skins.
