Rock To The Top: Heat Two

Rock To The Top is a battle of the bands style event where artists are up against each other in a bid to claim top honours! The competition includes 16 bands selected from all over Auckland, and will span over eight weeks with four bands competing each night. The idea is to create an entertaining and involving series for both audience and artists alike.

Each artist has 30 minutes on stage to deliver a solid and entertaining original set. They will not only be judged by two guest judges from with in the music industry, they will also have the task of winning your hearts as one of the key judging points is crowd reaction.
