Emergenza Festival Australia is back again at The Espy in Melbourne with more round one concerts.

This weekend 12—yes, count ‘em—12 bands will take the stage in a rock and roll battle to the semi-finals of the festival.

We love to keep up our reputation as an all-inclusive-multi-genre-eclectic-music-lovin’-machine, but this weekend at The Espy it’s all about rock and roll.

Showcasing their talents on stage will be bands from categories indie pop rock, acoustic rock, prog rock, post punk rock, power rock, hardcore rock… starting to notice a pattern here?!
