'ERUPTION!' was launched in 2016 to stimulate interest in grassroots music within the Northeast of Scotland - and together with your help, we intend to continue showcasing just how deep and diverse the talent pool is.
We've even gradually expanded this vision over the years to include bands from the Highlands, East Coast and even Central Belt, with many making their Krakatoa debuts.
Every participating band gets a 30 minute set to impress our guest judges (trusted individuals involved in music, promotion, record labels, etc), who will be scoring the performances across five different categories (Material, Performance, Technical Ability, Audience Engagement and Professionalism).
Music is subjective, of course - but we’ll endeavour to ensure that the judges are as independent, fair-minded and objective as humanly possible.
The winner will be announced early the following week, after we've sought, tallied and verified the guest judges votes. So just keep an eye on our socials, ken?
P.S. The ERUPTION GRAND FINAL event lives here:

Followed by:
'NEON LOUNGE'
A nocturnal refuge for the free spirited, an incandescent Dionysian antidote to clubbing. Our NEON LOUNGE DJs will bring the party. All eras, all genres, no shits given.
