Four bands are set to battle for the headline slot at Plymouth Barbican Christmas lights switch-on and £500. The Battle of the Bands Grand Final will be hitting Maritime Inn on the Barbican on Friday, August 29.

Four local bands will battle it out in an electrifying night of live music, energy, and local talent - for the chance to win £500, perform in front of hundreds of people at the Plymouth Barbican Christmas lights switch-on and a paid gig at the Maritime Inn.

The final four bands include Ocean City Souls, Them Bones, 3 Days of Wonder and The Buzzards. A panel of guest judges from Plymouth’s music scene and Barbican business owners will be on hand to decide who takes home the title, with audience cheers helping tip the balance in this high-stakes final.
