About Me


The GBOB Challenge is the world’s biggest live talent competition for bands of all genres. We aim to find raw talent wherever it is and expose it to a wider audience! Starting in 2004 with 16 countries participating, 25 countries took part in 2006 and participation continues to grow in 2007 with 37 countries now involved. Every year Local Qualifying Heats and National Finals take place in participating countries around the world, with the winners of these going forward to World Final.

If you’re a real band playing real music and can show you have what it takes live on stage, here’s your chance to win $100,000 and worldwide promotion!

Sounds Like:

“It’s very exciting to have been part of the foundation of a music event whose reputation is increasing exponentially. This year’s bands were given the opportunity to play in front of a select group of music professionals who can pluck a band out of obscurity and position them for world-wide success. Participate now before GBOB becomes the next SXSW or CMJ."
Gary Helsinger (Universal Music Publishing)

"This wasn't the first time I've been a judge for a battle of the bands contest. It was, however, the first one I truly enjoyed. The level of talent was high, the night was well organized and the entire thing was handled professionally. It was great to be a part of it all."
Joshua Freni (Virgin Records)

"I had a blast being a judge at GBOB. There wasn’t one single band on the stage who didn’t deserve to be there. I really like the concept and hope it grows year on year."
Steve Lillywhite (Producer - U2, Iggy Pop, The Rolling Stones etc)

“Thank you on behalf of Heavy Mojo. We had a great time in every round of the competition, especially the US finals in Los Angeles and playing the historic Astoria in London. I know that it takes a great deal of work to produce an event of this size and we hope that with the opportunities that are now available to Heavy Mojo, we can make 2007 a break-out year for the band and give GBOB the credit it deserves for finding new talent.”
Heavy Mojo (2006 World Final winners)
