Gig details inside…

It’s that brilliant time of year when everyone releases their lists polling which new artists they think are gonna blow up in the next annum (check out our next issue out this Friday 22 January for our own tips for 2010!).

Well MTV have unveiled their run-down of names to look for on the music scene in the next 365 days and it looks a little something like this…

Tinie Tempah

Marina And The Diamonds

Drake

Delphic

Ke$ha

The Drums

Justin Bieber

Owl City

Rox

Ellie Goulding

To spite it up slightly MTV are giving the power to the people to decide who is the brightest new star from the bunch. Voting is taking place at mtv.co.uk/10for10 and direct from artist websites with votes published in real-time to keep competition fierce. The winner will be announced on Monday 1 February.

To help you decide MTV are throwing a series of gigs featuring a selection from the shortlist and we highly recommend you getting yourselves down to Dingwalls in Camden next week. Take your pick from the following nights (or go to them bloody all!). Click on the links to get your tickets.
