To every time there is a season, and to every season there is a battle of the bands happening here in Utah County! Fall has finally kicked into gear, which means that on top of cooler weather, pumpkin spice, and Halloween festivities, we also have The Boardwalk’s Fall 2024 Battle of the Bands to get ready for!

Held in spring and fall each year, The Boardwalk’s Battle of the Bands has been the place to catch all the up-and-coming alt, emo, and heavier acts in the area. This spring’s competition was fierce, and there’s no reason to expect anything less from next month’s battle.

The Fall 2024 lineup is particularly notable for the number of relative newcomers to the event. It’s clear there are a bunch of young, hungry bands ready to show off what they’ve got, so there’s bound to be at least a few surprises as the week goes on.

This year’s Fall BotB lineup is as follows:

Tuesday 11/5

Off & Running
Funnel Web
Use of Man
The Drought

Wednesday 11/6

A Few Feet High
Venus Death Trap
Dog Years
Scarlett Letter

Thursday 11/7

Daisychain
Cougar Gold
Staycation
Lunar Spirit

Friday 11/8

45th Decibel
The Shindas
Lazy Loners
Stage Fright

Saturday 11/19

Finals (lineup TBA)

Doors open each night at 6:30 PM, and music starts at 7 PM. Tickets for these shows are already available at The Boardwalk’s website.

Go give these bands a listen so you know which night to attend and who to cheer for! (Or don’t and pick your favorite group night of.) Either way, follow The Boardwalk on Instagram for updates. For those who want a taste of what’s in store, check out “Running Out of Time” by Staycation!
