Kiwi bands are being offered a once in a life time big break, to open for United States pop punk megastars, Good Charlotte, at this year’s ITM400 Hamilton V8 Supercar Championship Series street race.

A nationwide search kicks off today to find an unsigned band that has the goods to take to the stage in front of an expected 20,000 strong crowd, as part of the ITM400’s new “Race by day, Rock all night” format.

Joel Madden, lead vocalist from Good Charlotte, says they are stoked an up-and-coming local band will open for their one-off New Zealand concert in April.

“We’ve heard some wicked music come out of New Zealand over the past few years and know we are going to find a rockin’ Kiwi band to support us.

“We know what it’s like to be an unsigned band - winning a competition like the ‘ZM Big Break’ can give you overnight exposure that is priceless in the music industry,” he said.

Unsigned bands can send their demo to ZM radio station to be in with a chance. The top three finalists will be judged by the New Zealand public with Good Charlotte choosing the band they decide deserves a big break - opening for them at their concert Sunday 17 April at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
