The deadline is looming for bands to apply to the forthcoming NABS Battle of the Bands which will take place at The Circle Club in Manchester next month.

The competition in aid of Advertising charity NABS is open to unsigned bands with a connection to the marketing industry who want the chance to compete with other brands in front of a crowd of around 300 people and gain exposure from the media.

To promote the event, Manchester advertising agency BJL has created a viral campaign.

Deadline for bands to sign up will be on Thursday 1 October, with the judging panel of musical experts also set to be announced at some point next week.

The event will take place at The Circle Club in Barton Arcade on 29 October, kicking off at 6.30pm with an after show party at the Inner Circle also set to take place.

Tickets for the event will be £10 each.
