KRAKATOA are delighted to present their annual Battle Of The Bands, 'ERUPTION!'
'ERUPTION!' was launched in 2016 to stimulate interest in grassroots music within the Grampian area: together with your help, we intend to continue showcasing just how deep and diverse the local talent pool is.
'ERUPTION!' is open to any bands or artists (strictly 14+ only) from Aberdeen and surrounding area (Grampian).
Every participating band gets a 30 minute set to impress our carefully chosen judges, who will be scoring the performances across five different categories (Material, Performance, Technical Ability, Audience Engagement and Professionalism).
Music - is of course - subjective, but we’ll endeavour to ensure that the judges are independent and objective.
The winner will be announced early the following week, after we've tallied and verified the judges votes. So keep an eye on our socials, ken?
The sixteen highest scoring bands across the heats will go forward to the four semi-finals in January - with one band from each semi progressing to our Grand Final in February.
Depending on availability, bands are welcome to enter multiple times, in order to better their score. Scores are not cumulative.
(Bands: Comprehensive backline will be provided to facilitate short intervals, but performers are welcome to take along their own amps, pedals, etc., and drummers will be expected to use their own cymbals, snare and kick pedal. Load-in 5pm to 7pm)

'NEON LOUNGE'
A nocturnal refuge for the free spirited, an incandescent Dionysian antidote to clubbing.
See you here!
