Rock The Lake Presents: Battle of the Bands at Red Bird Brewing

Get ready for two electrifying nights of live music at Red Bird Brewing as Rock The Lake launches its first-ever Battle of the Bands! This exciting collaboration will spotlight the Okanagan’s vibrant music scene, giving local bands the chance to compete for a paid spot on the Rock The Lake 2025 lineup.
 
How It Works:
Up to 10 local bands will be selected from a pool of applicants to perform live at Red Bird Brewing.
Performances will span two unforgettable nights, featuring the best of the Okanagan’s rock talent.
