NBT’s Battle of the Bands will take place over several weeks and be divided into four rounds:
Round 1:
Will consist of 8 shows with 5 bands each night for a total of 40 bands participating. To make sure the bands participating in the Battle of the Bands are serious we will be asking each band to purchase 20 tickets in advance at $5 a ticket for a total of $100. The cover charge for the Battle of the Bands will be $8 so bands who sell their tickets for $8 will make $60 for playing. Bands are allowed to charge whatever they want for tickets in order to sell them as long as they don’t charge more than $8. We also ask that tickets are sold prior to the show and not in front of the club the night of the show. Each night three of the five bands will move on to Round 2 based upon a panel of judges and a tally of fan votes. Bands will be allowed to choose which date they’d like to play for Round 1. Below are a list of dates for Round 1. Please notice the dates that Round 2, 3, and 4 fall on to make sure your band will be available.
