DIG THE GIG UC 2025 is back for it's 5th Season
Our Credo here at DIG THE GIG is simple..
Giving the characters and personalities behind our incredible NZ university bands a chance to strut their swagger live on stage is what DIG THE GIG lives for - showcasing & promoting the bands live performance and songs to our domestic & international audiences that should know about them but probably don't is our PROMISE.
DIG THE GIG is the coolest University Band Competition in the world that exposes and unearth's the bands through the FANS. There are no Judges - the bands are carried through the heats and into the grand final by a DECIBEL METER.
That’s right the band that brings the best live show and the LOUDEST crowd night after night will be crowned winners of DIG THE GIG.
DIG THE GIG University of Canterbury has four heats and the final.
Each band has to play three songs in their heat - one cover and two originals.
DIG THE GIG has been created to nurture, mentor and help guide our incredible NZ University Bands through to the next level of their musical careers. The colourful doors DIG THE GIG is opening for these awesome bands here in NZ and abroad is heartwarming to say the least.
Catch every heat at A Rolling Stone and witness over 20 UC bands that will blow your minds!
