Note: this is an all-ages show (with those under 18 requring parantal supervision), and all children require a ticket. However, the event will have many strobbing lights and loud music; we do not recommend bringing very young children.
Support the Whole Event!!
We strongly encourage all performers—and their guests—to arrive at the start of the event and stay for as much of the show as possible. Every band deserves a full and energetic audience, and your presence makes a huge difference. The judges will be making note of audience reaction and participation so getting your friends and family out and encouraging them to get rowdy will work in your favour!
Venue Rules — Please Read
NO outside liquids of any kind (including water bottles and coffee). No exceptions. This is standard venue policy, and Club 54 relies on bar sales to support events like ours.
