Battle of the Bands is back for 2024 and here to shake things up and make a scene. Participating bands will get to perform live onstage, and gain experience working with other musicians and planning gigs. They’ll also get a professionally recorded and edited video of their band performing live, be part of the ongoing development of the southside’s music scene and be paid for their time. Interested family and friends will be able to come along to support young bands in the making of a music video and at a performance later in the year.
Registrations are open now and close on 1 August.
Young musicians aged 13-25 with any connection to Tuggeranong are invited to join our band line up and apply for the opportunity to meet other musicians, perform onstage, create a music video, and continue to build the southside youth music scene.
Participating Bands will get involved in a bunch of events happening from July to November.
