The list includes a large number of acts championed by Mystic Sons over the past year, including Wolf Alice, Kwabs, James Bay, George The Poet, Lapsley, Shura and Years & Years (pictured), with a total of 15 names making up this year's longlist.
The eventually decided top five names from the list will be announced by Huw Stephens once a day when he takes over the Radio 1 Breakfast Show from the 5th-9th January next year.
