Ontario Festival Group is excited to bring back the Ribfest X Battle of the Bands for 2027! Following an incredible 2026 season, we’re ready to turn up the volume and give even more young musicians the opportunity to showcase their talent across Ontario!
This exciting youth music competition invites bands ages 10–19, high school bands, and local music programs to take the stage at Ribfest X festivals across Ontario. Perform with professional sound and stage production, entertain live audiences, gain valuable performance experience, and connect with fellow musicians along the way!
Only 6 bands selected per show — early registration is encouraged.
