SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER FOR BATTLE OF THE BANDS UPDATES
Read and understand the rules BEFORE registering your band. Band registration is now open.
After a long hiatus, the original Battle of the Bands is back. For 7 years the The Battle, or B.O.B as it was called, was the highest attended weekly local music event in the city. Now, the creators have resurrected the event which returns with the same format and prizes that it left off with nearly 10 years ago.
The Battle has helped to unite Indianapolis’ original music scene while providing a powerful networking opportunity for bands and music industry professionals alike. Win, lose, or draw, The Battle attracts new and established bands from all over Indiana, giving them the opportunity to play at one of the premier clubs in Indianapolis – HI-FI. It’s a wild and woolly free-for-all and one band will walk away with the ultimate grand prize of $10,000, a touring van and a wealth of other great prizes.
ATTENTION BANDS!!!
Band registration is first come first served and limited to the first 72 bands that signup. After all slots have been filled, a waiting list will be created.
