The judges have ruminated, bickered and agonised…and now we are thrilled to announce the finalists in the band comp to end all band comps: Garage to V.
The four finalists in each state will battle it out in local shows for the chance to be flown to the Sydney final, where they’ll hope to impress the industry judges. The victorious band will take the stage at all four V Festival dates (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth), joining a line-up populated by names like Smashing Pumpkins, Queens of the Stone Age and Modest Mouse.
To head along to the heats in your city for free and barrack for your favourite, RSVP HERE. Doors open 8pm at every show.
