2026 Battle of the Bands
🏆 2026 BOTB CHAMPIONS: NOW & ZEN
Event Details
This event has now concluded.
After four nights of live competition and standout performances, Now & Zen have been crowned the 2026 Battle of the Bands Champions at The Irish Harp Pub. The final showdown brought together Now & Zen, NT1070, and Jacob Ludwig, each delivering confident, high-level sets that made the decision a close one. It was a strong finish to a series that showcased the depth of talent in our local and regional music scene.
This year’s Battle of the Bands featured nine acts competing across multiple nights, with finalists selected through a combination of audience votes and judge scores from our in-house musicians, pub staff, and guests. The finals captured everything the series is about—great live music, genuine support for emerging artists, and a room full of people paying attention.
Thank you to all the bands, guests, and supporters who took part in this year’s event. If you’re joining us to celebrate live music at the pub, we invite you to reserve a table by emailing info@theirishharppub.com.
