Three Christchurch bands in to the NZ Battle Of The Bands national finals
3 months of eliminations throughout the country have taken place featuring over 100 bands performing, during 40 live shows; now the final 31 top bands remain! Some amazing new talent has been unearthed with a very diverse array of musical styles on display resulting in many deserving bands in the finals. Regional Finals around the country over the last 2 weeks were massively attended, with some very exciting performances from bands displaying huge potential. Judges along with crowd votes, had close call, difficult decisions to make; this year’s caliber is especially high, meaning the huge line-up of talent in the National Finals really is superb and well worth checking out.
