🎸 That’s a Wrap on the Quidi Vidi Brewing Battle of the Bands! 🎸

Over the past two months, Quidi Vidi Brewery and MusicNL teamed up to showcase some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s emerging artists. Transforming the QV Taproom into a stage for fresh local talent, our inaugural Battle of the Bands brought together incredible musicians, unforgettable performances, and an electric crowd.

This event celebrated new voices, created performance opportunities, and built community. Across four preliminary rounds, sixteen bands took to the stage, with one winner each night advancing to the finals on March 22.

At stake? Not just bragging rights, but a grand prize package, including:
🏆 Four paid summer gigs at the QV Taproom (plus social media promo)
👕 Custom band shirts from Atlantic Music & Merch
💻 A one-year digital eCommerce website/storefront from Atlantic Music & Merch
🎟 Passes to the 2025 MusicNL Conference

Each participating band also received a Quidi Vidi prize pack, and every preliminary round winner received a one-year MusicNL membership.

The finalists: Dahlia | Fourthright | The Way East | The Tension Points

A huge congratulations to Dahlia for taking home the top prize, and a massive thank you to every band who took the stage, every fan who showed up, and our incredible partners at Quidi Vidi Brewery for making this event possible.

Here’s to more live music, more opportunities, and an even bigger Battle of the Bands in the future!
