Battle of the Bands returns for Heat 7, with local acts competing for a place in the final.

Each audience member will receive a voting slip on entry, which must be handed in to cast their vote. Lost voting slips will not be replaced. Independent judges will also score each act on songwriting, stage presence and overall performance. The winning band will be announced by one of the judges on the night once all acts have performed.

Under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
