Show night

What a show night is like

  • In the big room

    Bands play from a low stage, with the audience on chairs and standing at the back.

  • Who comes

    Families, friends and the other bands. Parents are welcome, and so are brothers and sisters.

  • Earplugs at the door

    Earplugs are available at the door, and the volume is turned to the room.
