Earn the opening slot.
TheBank's 2026 Battle of the Bands is the local path onto one of our biggest stages of the year. Bands compete September 26 for an opening opportunity on the November 22 Green Jellÿ show during the 45th Anniversary World Tour. If the September field requires a final round, qualifying bands will return October 10. If the winner can be determined September 26, the October final will not be needed.
The September 26 Battle of the Bands is free and all ages, with tips for performers encouraged. Bands interested in competing should register below so our team can review the act, contact information, performance links, and setup needs. Any October 10 final will be for qualifying bands from the September battle.
