Channel 4 reveals Future Sounds list

Channel 4 has announced the acts selected for the Future Sound series which will showcase some of the hottest up-and-coming talent rated for 2016.

A key part of the initiative is the television programme of the same name, which will launch on Thursday 7th January. It will include performances from Abbey Road by the acts on the list, talks from global artists, and think pieces about various genres and how they are evolving.
