The 3rd Annual Stompers Battle of the Bands takes place at Olde Stompers in Itaewon. In three heats, fifteen bands compete for the grand prize of one million won, to be given to the ultimate winner decided in the finale.

Here’s how it works: October 30, November 6 and November 13 will each have five bands fighting for a coveted spot in the finale on November 20. The winner from each night will move on, and one act will be chosen as the ‘wild card’ to give fans four bands to cheer for in the last show. Bands will be judged based on originality, musicality, stage presence and crowd response.

Doors open at 8pm, and the music starts at 9pm. For more information including lineup, directions, map and photos, visit http://www.hiexpat.com/korea-events/details/1072.

Although judges determine the winner of the Battle, you have a chance to start supporting your favorite act right now!
