Select Hard Rock Cafe locations will host a battle of the bands where local artists can compete for the chance to perform as the opening act in the artist’s respective market.

Each competition will be evaluated by a panel of four judges for the ultimate prize -- $25,000 cash and the opportunity to audition for RCA Records Vice President, A&R;, Renee Bell.
