WE NEED BANDS Presents:
THE UPGRADE EXPERIMENT
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
This is it. The one. The big one. The biggest one we’ve ever attempted. If we pull this off, it’ll be a massive boost for the local music scene— giving musicians a chance to play one of Bristol’s most prestigious stages.
Can we build a killer lineup of local bands and create enough buzz to move from Room2 > Main Stage?

The GIVEAWAY:
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
