Supernova.com is proud to present the BREAK YOUR BAND Finals, where Canada’s most promising new band talent hits the stage for a shot at a $25,000 deal to launch their music careers.

The BREAK YOUR BAND Finals are taking place in 12 major cities across Canada, with each event featuring over a dozen of the best bands to take the Supernova.com stage this year. Each artist has earned their place in a previous Battle of the Bands, and has built a solid fan base through Supernova.com, making this one of the most intense talent competitions in Canada!

In an industry where young, unknown talent can often struggle to find the opportunity to play and gain experience, Supernova.com is creating hundreds of live gig opportunities for these young bands to get up on stage, play in front of a real audience, and feel the rockstar experience.

The BREAK YOUR BAND Finals go even further with thousands of dollars in music prizing, plus a $25,000 Development Deal which will be awarded to the most promising new band.
