Bayside will be supporting their forthcoming album Interrobang on tour, and they’re giving unsigned bands a chance to perform with them.
Announced today, their Battle of the Bands contest will allow an unsigned local band to open for them each night. Aside from playing with Bayside, these bands will get paid, and they can set up merch. All genres are welcomed to enter. To submit your band, head here. Submissions will be open until this Friday (September 27). Fan voting will take place from September 30 through October 25. Whoever wins the fan vote gets to perform.
Bayside’s headlining tour, which includes support from Sincere Engineer and Capstan, will kick off on November 6 inside Indianapolis’ Deluxe. Tickets for this tour will go on sale this Friday at noon local time. Dates can be seen below.
