This beast of a band competition is open to all brave enough to face their fears and join the ranks of past Round Up warriors including The Klap, The Tiger Tones, Bang! Bang! Eche!, Slipstream and The Undercurrents, Shapeshifter, The O’Lovelies, The Deceivers, The Insurgents, Heavy Jones Trio and P Bass Expressway.

WHO WILL CONQUER THE BEAST THIS YEAR?
The Christchurch live music scene is thriving, with over 500 bands currently listed on the CHART (christchurchmusic.org.nz) website. RoundUp is a tangible example of RDU’s commitment to developing locally produced, original music and sharing it with the wider New Zealand music industry. RDU is stoked to be collaborating with Christchurch’s key music industry partners to provide the winning band with the opportunity to get their career as a band rolling.
