Under-18s Battle of the Bands
BOTB is in its second year, supporting young bands to introduce themselves into the local music scene and giving them the chance to win the ultimate title!

Shortlisted bands will receive free rehearsal space, subject to availability, as well as free videography and photography of their live performance the day of the competition. We also plan to deliver some workshops to competing bands ahead of the main event to get you thinking with an original creative flair! There will be multiple awards related to our local sponsors, including originality, stage presence, instrumentality, musicianship and vocals, in addition to the main BOTB winners prizes. Winners will receive free rehearsal space for the year, some awesome performance opportunities, and personalised band merchandise.
