Welcome to our 2022 Edition of Battle of the Bands
After a MASSIVE SUCCESS last year… where our four winners ended up playing on the same main stage as our headliners… we’re back at it for ANOTHER YEAR OF HIGH STAKES AND GLORY!!! We have 3 different regions this year, with 3 shows per region, and 3 bands per show. We’ll also have one of our amazing artists from last year’s festival closing out and headlining every one of these nights!
After these first 9 events are held, the winner of each night will enter the semifinal round… which will be held on a separate night TBA later. From those 9, 3 will be crowned our 2022 Battle of the Bands CHAMPIONS WILL BE CROWNED!!!
The 9 regionals are OFFICIALLY IN THE BOOKS!!! Come see which THREE of our 9 Finalists make it to the Main Stage of Higher Education Festival in August and then rage with some of our top EDM acts to close off the night… In one of the most Iconic Venues in New England! ITS GOING TO BE EPIC!!!
