First launched in 2015 as a response to the larger national competitions, the Underdog quickly established itself on the Bristol scene. Six years, and 49 shows later The Underdog makes it’s Thekla debut – the first Underdog event to be hosted on a boat!
The Grand Final will be packed with seven local bands showing what Bristol music has to offer. Our final four bands will be competing at their very last challenge – winning over the judges and audience members at Thekla. Joining them on stage will be guest headliners Liquid State, winners of the last Underdog competition back in 2017, plus warm-up performances from Eleusis (One Night Only winner) and Wildcat Boozy (MicroDog winner).
VIP ticket holders get 5X votes to cast, plus exclusive use of the upstairs VIP bar – no queues to get drinks! There are only a limited amount of VIP tickets available so grab one quick!
