Rockshop Bandquest

Rockshop Bandquest is a platform for the next generation of contemporary musicians to step out and perform in a supportive and encouraging competition format, with a focus on education, inspiration, and entertainment.

Rockshop Bandquest was founded in 2011 by Rockquest Promotions, the company behind nationwide original music competitions Smokefreerockquest and Smokefree Tangata Beats.

The idea behind Rockshop Bandquest is to encourage Primary and Intermediate aged kids onto the stage, teaching them performance skills and the importance of teamwork.

With 17 live events this year nationwide, as well as an online contest for bands in outlying regions, Rockshop Bandquest aims to provide a goal for young contemporary musicians to focus on, offer incentives for them, build their confidence, provide them with inspiration from their peers and support Music staff, highlighting the great work they do with their students.
