Each band will have their own stage at either end of the arena and will showcase their musical prowess throughout each round. For every round, the bands contest for points, determined by the crowd via the applause meter. The band with the most points after all rounds will be crowned king of Red Bull Soundclash.
a) Warm Up – each band plays 3 of their own songs to pump up the crowd
b) Round 1: The ‘Cover’ (creative round) – DJ Ready D cuts in a well known song and each band plays a cover version of the song in their own style.
c) Round 2: The ‘Take Over’ (spontaneous round) - Gazelle play one of their hits and on cue from the hosts, Die Heuwels Fantasties take over the song in their style and then vice versa.
d) Round 3: The ‘Sound Clash’ (innovative round) - DJ Ready D determines a musical style (eg. Reggae, punk, funk, etc) for each heat then cuts in a song for Gazelle to pick up from in the pre-determined style. Die Heuwels Fantasties will then pick up the same style and ‘attack’ Gazelle who will then ‘respond’. This round ends with each of the bands ‘melting’ the song into one of their own tunes.
e) Round 4: The ‘Wild Card’ (mystery round) - Each band plays one more song together with their invited special (secret) guest for the last opportunity to gain the crowd’s affection.
With such furious competitive creativity, the bands from opposite ends of the musical spectrum will end up literally colliding head on to forge a new sound never heard before; a beautiful mutant concoction of their two sounds together. But only one band will remain standing at the end of the fourth round and with the most crowd applause they will be crowned the victor of the second Red Bull Soundclash.
