Opening Act(2012)

Opening Act is a competition series that hunts for undiscovered talent across the Internet to earn the chance to open for major recording artists. Judges search through submissions to find the best amateur performers capable of warming up crowds for headliners including Lady Gaga, Gym Class Heroes, Rod Stewart, Nicki Minaj, LMFAO, Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean, and Jason Mraz. The show gives emerging singers and performers a genuine shot at breaking into the industry by pairing them with established acts across multiple genres—from pop and hip-hop to country and rock. It's a high-stakes opportunity for unknowns to perform on real stages and gain exposure to massive audiences. For aspiring musicians, Opening Act offers a rare pathway to industry recognition and the kind of real-world experience that can launch a career.
