Battle of the Bands
Save the date: Thursday 23 April 2027, at Blackheath Halls
Looking for opportunities to get your music performed and heard? If you are in a band or a singer/songwriter and aged 11 – 18 then you can sign up to be part of Trinity Laban’s Battle of the Bands 2027!
Priority will be given to young musicians who live or study in South-East London. All bands invited to be part of Battle of the Bands 2027 will be offered a coaching session in advance from Trinity Laban musicians, before performing on a professional stage in April, with feedback from our panel of music industry specialists.
The winning band will be invited to Trinity Laban for further coaching and a professional recording session at Trinity Laban to help them develop and promote their music.
For each band or artist that wants to take part, you will need to complete the online application form – which will be available soon – and send us a short video demo, by Friday 12 February at the latest. We welcome applications from schools, music centres, youth projects and young musicians applying independently.
