The Global Battle of the Bands er verdens største talentkonkurranse for band som spiller sine egne låter live. 8. mars 2015 kjemper de beste nye bandene fra hele verden live på Rockefeller i Oslo om tittelen ‘Best New Band in the World’ og en stor ’International Band Development Package’. Årets representerte land er Nederland, Tsjekkia, Australia, Malaysia, Romania, Moldova, England, Skottland, Hviterussland m.m.
GBOB er en global musikk-konkurranse for ekte uetablerte band som spiller sine egne, selvskrevne låter live. Andre konkurranser som Idol og X-Factor handler i all hovedsak om coverlåter, men i GBOB er det kun to regler: bandene må spille egenkomponerte låter og de må spille live.
GBOB har vokst seg større år for år, og over 40.000 musikere fra Europa, Asia, Australia og Amerika har til dags dato vært involvert. GBOB har et rykte på seg for å breake nye band – noe som er bevist ved at tidligere vinnere har signert platekontrakter med bl.a. Warner Brothers, Universal og EMI og har fått produksjonsavtaler med store produsenter som Jim Lowe (Stereophonics, Charlatans) og Danny Saber (U2, David Bowie).
NB! Dørene åpner kl. 18.00. Showstart kl. 19.00!
GBOB World Final is coming to Oslo!
Oslo City is proud to be hosting this year's GBOB World Final, at the Rockefeller, on the 8th of March 2015 (Sunday). GBOB is the Global Battle of the Bands, the biggest worldwide music competition for bands playing their own songs, live.
On Sunday 8 March 2015, the best new bands from around the world will be gathering in Oslo and performing live before a Norwegian Audience and various Music Industry Professionals from around the world, in an effort to win this year's title "Best New Band in the World" and a massive International Band Development Package, courtesy of GBOB Worldwide and its Partners. This year's participating countries include Netherlands, Czech Republic, Australia, Malaysia, Romania, Moldova, England, Scotland, Belarus, and more.
GBOB is a global live music competition for real, unmanufactured bands playing their own, original music. Other competitions, like Pop-Idol and X-Factor, are all about cover-songs. In GBOB there are only two main rules: all bands have to play their own songs, and play live.
GBOB has grown year on year and to date has involved more than 40,000 musicians across Europe, Asia, Australia, and Central America. Its reputation for breaking new bands is proven by previous winners who have since signed deals with Warner Brothers, Universal and EMI as well as production deals with leading producers including Jim Lowe (Stereophonics, Charlatans) and Danny Saber (U2, David Bowie).
Doors: 18:00. Show: 19:00.
