BATTLE OF THE BANDS

WIN A HUGE £10,000

Think you’re ready for the main stage? The Untapped Battle of the Bands is your band’s chance to rise from “one to watch” to “ones to beat.” And the prize? Let’s just say it’s more than just a handshake and a high five.

We’re talking £10K, a slot at Pub in the Park, Ally Pally tickets, and the chance to say you played the pub circuit that actually launched a career. So tune those guitars, rehearse those harmonies, and submit your entry 'cause this summer, your local could be the place it all begins.

Apply now and let the battle begin.

How does it work?

  • Enter online and show us what you’re made of. We’ll ask for the basics and a track or two to hear your sound. Just a heads up: submitting doesn’t guarantee you a spot but your local pub will be in touch if you're selected to play.
  • Play a live heat at your local. Expect proper crowds and real-time reactions. Win, and you’re off to the regionals.
  • Smash the regional final and you’ll earn a place at The George in Southwark for the grand finale where the best of the best battle it out.
  • Win it all and claim a £10,000 cash prize, a Live to Vinyl experience at Metropolis Studio, and more. Oh, and eternal bragging rights (obviously).

Supporting the music venue trust

Every riff, chorus, and encore starts somewhere small, and we’re making sure those stages keep buzzing. That’s why Greene King and Jack Daniel’s are proudly backing the Music Venue Trust, helping grassroots venues survive and thrive.

With every Jack Daniel's & Coca Cola, 10p will be donated to the charity, helping keep the UK’s live music heartbeat alive. Because without local stages, there’d be no global superstars.
