Battle of the Bands

Battle Creek Battle of the Bands is the creation of Penetrator Events and 1T Productions. It was created to help instigate a larger live music scene in the greater Battle Creek area to celebrate local talent.

Battle of the bands does not pretend to be the end all for the live music scene, but rather an addition to what has already been created by so many other promoters, venues and musicians.

For this first 2026 version, the event will showcase cover bands in the rock ‘n’ roll genre.

November 14, 6pm – Finals
