You know the drill. Bands take the stage, one after the other, play their hearts out, and the audience and judges respond in kind. Or not. It depends on how well the band played, how much they rocked, and how much they were in the moment. That pretty much sums up Hard Rock's Ambassadors Of Rock Battle Of The Bands, with one huge exception. These bands are playing for a chance to open Hard Rock Calling in London! They're battling for a chance to perform on the same bill as Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Dave Matthews, and The Killers. Yeah, we think that's pretty cool, too.

All over the country, from Hard Rock Cafe Atlanta to Hard Rock Cafe San Diego, participating Cafes will be hosting Ambassadors Of Rock Battle Of The Bands competitions and we want you to be there, front and center, cheering on the bands. Take a look at the listings to the right and make room in your schedule because audience participation is part of the judging process. You could help choose the band that will fly to London and play Hard Rock Calling! Pretty heavy, but it's gonna be awesome, from beginning to end.

All of the competitions, including qualifying rounds and final rounds are listed to the right. Put 'em on your calendar, and we'll see you at Hard Rock Cafe, ready to rock!
