Vote for your favorite band at EDP Live Bands Brasil'17

Thursday 16, March 2017

Until March 24, the public can vote and select the rock and pop-rock bands that will advance to the next round. Vote on the website edplivebands.edp 

Now it in the hands of Brazilian indie rock and pop-rock fans! The public has until March 24 to choose the bands that will advance to the next stage. 

This is also a great opportunity to discover the rich and highly creative Brazilian music scene. Over 1,600 bands signed up for the second edition of EDP Live Bands Brasil"17. The competition site is packed with videos and unreleased songs by bands hailing from all over Brazil, available in a platform with a Facebook interface, which makes voting easier.

A new voting round will be held from March 27 to April 14, in which the public and the jury will select the finalist bands. The big winner will record an album for Sony Music and perform at Nos Alive 2017, one of the major music festivals in Europe, with bands such as The Weeknd, Foo Fighters, Depeche Mode, and Imagine Dragons.

The EDP Live Bands Brasil"17 big final will be held on May 6 in São Paulo, when the eight finalist bands will perform two songs before a select jury.

EDP supports young talent in Brazil, which is why the company decided to bring the initiative - a highly successful event in Portugal, where it is now in its fourth edition - to the country. The Brazilian version of EDP Live Bands Brasil "17 is a partnership between EDP Brasil and Everything is New, Sony Music, and FNAC, with the institutional support of the Luso-Brazilian Foundation.

From Brazil to European stages

In 2016, the first EDP Live Bands edition in Brazil awarded the band from Maranhão Soulvenir. The band consists of Marlon Silva, Adnon Soares, Domingos Thiago, and combines electronic rock, regional rhythms, and English lyrics. Soulvenir were chosen from among more than 1,300 bands hailing from seven Brazilian states, and and are currently completing the album "Uterearth", which will be released later this year.
