DIG THE GIG was established in twenty twenty one to create a musical movement - a movement to get student bands out their flats/halls of residents and into a live music venue to put on a kick ass show and connect to humans that should know about them but don’t. 

 

DIG THE GIG is the coolest University Band Competition in the world that exposes and unearth's the bands through the fans. There are no Judges - the bands are carried through the heats, onto the semi’s and into the grand final by a DECIBEL METER. 

 

That’s right the band that brings the best live show and the LOUDEST crowd night after night will be crowned winners of DIG THE GIG.  

 

Each DIG THE GIG comp has four heats - a semi final and the grand final. 

 

Each band has to play three songs in their heat - one cover and two originals.
 

DIG THE GIG has been created to nurture, mentor and help guide our incredible University Bands through to the next level of their musical careers. 
Register. Bring your Crowd. Perform. Kick Ass & Enjoy the Ride.
