Battle of the Bands 2027 Auditions

2027 BOTB AUDITIONS NOW OPEN

Event Details

Auditions are open for the 5th Annual Battle of the Bands at The Irish Harp Pub, and our stage is waiting for Niagara’s best bands and solo artists. Play your own songs, play your favourite covers, or a mix of both. Any genre is welcome, and solo artists, duos and bands of up to 4 performers can apply. Every act we select gets a full 45-minute set to try and advance to the finals.

To apply, send us your music, links, video and/or website using the form below or by emailing irishharpgm@gmail.com. Tell us who you are and share your music, videos, and links and we’ll take it from there.

Here’s how it works. There are 3 audition rounds, with 3 acts each night and 1 winner per night, decided by votes. Voting happens live in the room and online, and we’ll be livestreaming on our Facebook page so your fans can vote from home too. Each night’s winner moves on to the Final, where our three finalists come back for one last night to battle for the title.

So share it everywhere. Tell your friends, your family and your fans, because the crowd decides who moves on.

Our three finalists get lots of exposure on local radio and social media, and the one act that takes the title walks away with a professional recording session and more as our 5th Annual Battle of the Bands Champion.

Bring your best 45 minutes, bring your fans and show Niagara what you’ve got.
