THE UNDERDOG 2025: SEMI FINAL A
The Underdog returns in 2025 with a special ten-year anniversary series.
The Semi Finals will be the penultimate round of the 2025 Underdog series, with six semi finalists competing for one of the three spots at the Grand Final. Our finalists will be competing for our stacked prize table:
Plus, the Semi Finals will be headlined by the winners of our Overload event.
First launched in 2015, The Underdog quickly established itself on the Bristol scene as an alternative to the larger national competitions. Hundreds of local bands have competed at venues like o2 Academy, Thekla, The Fleece, Exchange, The Thunderbolt, and Zed Alley.
Seventy-two bands from around the South West and Wales will battle it out at the 2025 Underdog competition, our biggest-ever event series... but there can only be one winner!
Follow the competition by using the hashtag #UnderdogBristol on social media.
Please Note: Only one ticket can be claimed per person (you cannot buy multiple tickets for the extra votes).
