Compete In 103.3 Country’s Battle of the Bands!

103.3 Country, The Nashville Palace, and Busch Light are teaming up to find the next breakout act – and it could be YOU!

We’ve selected 12 standout bands and invited them to compete live at one of three semi-final performance nights at the legendary Nashville Palace:

Wednesday, February 18th

Wednesday, February 25th

Wednesday, March 4th

Each night, four bands hit the stage, performing for The Nashville Palace crowd and a panel of judges from 103.3 Country, The Nashville Palace, and the country music industry. Only ONE band from each night will earn a spot in the FINALE on Wednesday, March 11th!

And the stakes? They’re big. One winning band will take home:

-Three (3) paid gigs at either The Nashville Palace (Nashville, TN) or Tiki & Raw Bar (Orange Beach, AL)

-Opportunity to perform as part of Nashville’s Let Freedom Sing! Music City 4th Celebration in 2026

–6 tickets to an upcoming country show at Bridgestone Arena in 2026 (concert TBD, specific show will be determined by the Station)

Each potential Semi-Finalist selected must be able to perform live on all of the dates of the Semi-Final events and, if selected as a Finalist, at the Final Event.

If a potential Semi-Finalist has a scheduling conflict with any of the dates of the Semi-Final Events or the Finale Event, the Semi-Finalist will be disqualified.

The Station will separate the twelve (12) Semi-Finalists into three (3) groups of four (4). Each group of four (4) will perform at one (1) of the Semi-Finalist Events, as scheduled by the Station in its sole discretion.

Semi-Finalists do not get to pick the date they will perform.
