This could be your big break…

Modest! Management, the team behind some of the biggest names in pop music are on the lookout for the “next Niall Horan” for their new global project.

The management company, who are affiliated with huge acts like One Direction, Niall Horan, Little Mix and 5 Seconds Of Summer, announced today that they’ll be holding an open casting call in Dublin for male singer / songwriters aged between 15 and 19 to join a brand new international group.

The auditions will take place on June 8 & 9 in Dublin’s Button Factory venue. It sounds like they’re looking for a “Niall Horan type” as well, stating explicitly that anyone who auditions should be able to play the guitar (or keyboard) as well as being able to sing.

The announcement goes on to say “You will be asked to perform 1-2 songs for Modest! casting agents acoustic / acapella, and if successful you will be invited to join a studio camp in London on 17th-19th June 2018.”

“The open auditions will run from 9am to 3pm each day, please arrive early to avoid missing out and be sure to bring with you any equipment you may need for your audition.”

We know what song we’ll be auditioning with anyway.
