In its 25th year, Independence Rock has invited the winners of global Battle of the Bands® series from the Canada, the U.S., UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia to play, and to compete for the title of ‘Best Band in the World’. As the largest operator of Battle of the Bands® concerts in North America, Supernova.com is proud to be selecting both the US and Canada representatives of indie rock at the 25th Independence Rock Festival.

The finalists will then be judged by a panel of industry heavyweights, including Victor Mijars (Director of A/R, Warner Music Canada), Andy Curran (SRO/Anthem, Manager of Rush, Thornley), and Joel Baskin (founder, The Pilot Agency).

The panel will collectively select one winning band from Canada & one from the US, to each win an ALL expenses paid trip to India this August, including:
