TRAOBA Presents: Battle of the Broker Bands

TRAOBA Presents: Battle of the Broker Bands takes over the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh on Thursday, October 29. It's part of the TRAOBA Presents series, and the whole night is built around the Battle of the Broker Bands, which is exactly what it says on the tin: a competition where bands go head-to-head on stage. If you've been following the series, you know the drill—multiple acts, one stage, and the crowd there to see who comes out on top.

Since it's a battle, the focus is on the competition itself rather than a single headliner. The bands take turns playing their sets, and the night is structured around that back-and-forth. It's a different kind of show than a standard concert; instead of one band building a set from start to finish, you get a few different sounds in one evening, and the whole thing is framed as a contest.

Doors open at 5 PM, and the show starts at 6 PM, so there's plenty of time to get in and settle in before the first band takes the stage. Tickets are $24.55. If you're planning to be there for the start, keep in mind that the music kicks off an hour after the doors open, so arriving closer to 5 PM gives you a bit of a buffer.
