EMERGENZA NEWS FROM AMERICA

B.E.S.T. IN THE USA

The Branch of Emergenza Seasonal Tour (B.E.S.T.) in North America is, without a doubt, going to be a huge success. Currently 9 bands are touring the premiere venues in eastern and mid US and Canada. These 9 bands were selected from the many incredible bands that took part in the Festival last season. Now each band will have at least two shows in different cities, giving them an opportunity perform and gain exposure to new audiences.

EMERGENZA SEMIFINALS DEBUT

Emergenza’s semifinals have already begun in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and Nashville. Other semifinals will debut across the rest of the US in the next two weeks. As the festival progresses, the venues are increasing in size and the enthusiasm and motivation of band members is also growing. Many players are excited by the chance to play on these renowned stages, not to mention the tons of prizes that await them and the International Final in Germany!
