FBi’s Northern Lights competition is returning again in 2016 and they’ve whittled down 600 entrants to a shortlist of just eight.

As per usual, the winners will be given the chance to play Iceland Airwaves Music Festival on a bill that includes PJ Harvey, Warpaint, Julia Holter and Kate Tempest.

They’ll be given flights and accomodation plus they’ll spend a day recording in Sigur Rós’s Sundlaugin Studio.

Among this year’s finalists are rapper Baro who is fresh from joining Flume on stage at Splendour In The Grass, electronic singer/songwriter BUOY who has just released her stunning Break EP and Sydney’s Middle Kids who caused a worldwide stir with their debut single Edge Of Town.

Multi-instrumentalist Anatole, producer Christopher Port, singer/songwriter Georgia Mulligan, rock/electronica band Mezko and serenading duo Oh Pep! have also made the shortlist stacked with new Aussie talent.
