Performers bidding for stardom have until Sunday )May 31) to submit their entries, and those shortlisted will have the chance to perform live at some of London's most iconic locations including St Paul's Cathedral, Westfield London, and major rail and tube stations.

Mr Johnson said: "There are talented musicians in every corner of the capital who have a dream of becoming a major star like Ed Sheeran, Mumford and Sons, or Adele.

"Gigs is a fantastic opportunity to get exposure, build your confidence and expertise playing live and win prizes designed to hone your craft.

"Come on, you've just under two weeks to enter and be part of one of the biggest music events of the year."
