afropunk battle of the bands 2015

May 4, 2015

AFROPUNK has announced this years Battle of the Bands. In just its third year The Battle of the Bands gives up and coming artists a chance to perform at the critically acclaimed AFROPUNK Festival, a festival that saw over 60,000 in attendance last year alone with performances from D’Angelo, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Lianne La Havas, Body Count and many more. AFROPUNK Battle of The Bands, while serving as a chance to perform on one of Brooklyn’s biggest stages, has also been integral in kickstarting bands careers: The Skins signing to Rick Rubens label America, Unlocking the Truth signing to Sony, among others. 

This year, in addition to the battle in Brooklyn, AFROPUNK is bringing the battles to Atlanta and Philadelphia with the help of local artists Cobra Snake in the ATL and Veteran Freshman in Philly. Bands choose which city to rep and compete for the chance to play the AFROPUNK Festival 2015. Online sign-up and voting begins May 15th and ends May 29th
