West Norfolk’s Battle of the Bands returns this Summer

Local musicians are being called to the stage as the fourth annual West Norfolk Battle of the Bands returns to The Green in Hunstanton this summer.

The event, delivered in partnership with Festival Too and Radio West Norfolk, promises another high‑energy showcase of home‑grown talent.

The Battle of the Bands takes place on Sunday 16 August, from 12pm to 6pm, offering an afternoon of live music, great atmosphere and friendly competition. It’s the only battle where everyone leaves with good vibes.

Bands with roots in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire or Lincolnshire are invited to enter now for the chance to perform in front of an enthusiastic crowd on the Green. The winning band will also earn a coveted slot on the Festival Too stage in King’s Lynn next year — a major platform for emerging local artists.

To take part, bands must have at least three members, and all genres are welcome — from rock and indie to folk, funk, metal, pop and everything in between.

The deadline for entries is 6pm on 17 July 2026. For full details and to enter, visit:
