Marion Battle of the Bands

Join us for the Marion Battle of the Bands! Over two EPIC days we will hear from the best young local talent on offer! There are two band categories, and for the first time, Marion Battle of the Bands also has a soloist category! They're all competing for a lifechanging prize - a mentoring and recording package AND a set at a major City of Marion event!

Not only will you get to hear the next BIG thing before they become huge, but there is an EPIC headline act to close each night at 7pm.

On Saturday we have Exit Plan – first place winner of Marion Battle of the Bands 2023 open-division! Exit Plan is an eclectic, shocking and groove-interlocking Indie Rock band hailing from Murray Bridge, South Australia. First formed in a tent years ago by brothers Seth and Cooper Clark, Exit Plan will be gracing the us with their raw, unfiltered rhythms as the headliner for Saturday!

On Sunday we'll be treated to a performance from Sol Collective – first place winner of Marion Battle of the Bands 2023 school-based division! Sol Collective is a passionate indie band with a carefree and fun loving vibe based here on Kaurna Yerta (Kaurna Land). They will be playing captivating original music for us as the headliner for Sunday!

This FREE event also features an epic market activation in the Marion Cultural Centre Plaza - with dozens of young stallholders selling homemade crafts and goods.

Set lists to be announced mid October!

This event is a YOUTH LED initiative organised, facilitated and created by the City of Marion's Youth Collective Committee. Want to know more about them? Check out their Instagram, @marionYCC
