This year the final of Battle of the Bands is going to be a one off late show to allow more time for the crowd to arrive and to allow votes to be counted after the bands play. There's a guest appearance by DJ Si Owen and DJ Stu after the bands finish and in between. They are promising a mixture of Dubstep, Hip-hop, Indie and of course Drum n' Bass to keep people moving!

The crowd vote is going to play a massive part in deciding the eventual winner of this years contest, so be there and make your vote count! Doors are at the slightly later time of 8pm. It should be an absolute blinder!

 

THE FINAL Result
There will be a guaranteed admission system in operation. Each band will be given 25 flyers guaranteeing an entry until 8:30. After this time, those places will go on general sale. Please note these tickets are NOT free entry passes, they just mean you can all get in if we reach capacity, and that each band can guarantee entry to their dedicated fans. Entry will be £4 as per usual.
