Bala Perduda’s reception period starts on the beginning of November and remains open until the 15th of December. There are only 18 spots. The selected bands will play at Sala Apolo in a total of six concerts. At each concert there will be three bands fighting to rise to the next level. There will be only one winning band at the end of each concert, and that band will go straight to the finals. This means there will be six finalists facing each other on an epic band battle, from which two winners will arise.
You and them. Fifty percent of the score will be decided by the audience, using a smartphone app created specifically for Bala Perduda, and the other fifty percent will be decided by a jury formed by people who are directly involved in the music business, like artists, festival organizers, record labels representatives, etc. If you plan to be in the audience, don’t forget to cast your vote. You will get a free beer for it!
