LIBERTY MIDLANDS MALL BATTLE OF THE BANDS


Be sure to pencil in a weekly musical date at Liberty Midlands Mall this Saturday, August 3, the third week, where bands and artists vie for the title of the mall’s epic Battle Of The Bands. The event features the province’s exciting new musical talents who take to the stage to compete for the grand prize.

The best solo artist and the best band each stand to win R10,000, as well as an opportunity to perform future gigs at the mall.

This Saturday will see six bands ranging from acoustic, folk, rock, pop, reggae, classical, alternative, Afro and jazz. On the line-up to battle it out are local bands, Kimberly & Dwayne, 4 Digits, Brown Jam, Genetics, The Kristen Koning Band and Many Moore.

Last week, the judges had a tough decision to make as they placed three soloists in the top two, allowing all three to go through to the next round.
