Have you ever wanted to live your guitar hero dreams and open for The Offspring, A Day To Remember and Bad Religion? Seems pretty badass, right? Well, Ernie Bell is offering local, unsigned bands that opportunity to live their dreams on the big Verizon Wireless Amphitheater stage on September 21.
The prize, in addition to playing at the fifth annual Epicenter show, will be a slot on the Ernie Bell stage. Bands can enter Ernie Ball's Epicenter Battle Of The Bands — and fans can vote for their favorite artists here now through September 13, 2013.
