Now on its fourth year, Wanderland Music and Arts Festival holds a yet another exciting search for the next Wanderband.

The Wanderband Competition is where amateur indie bands or underground local acts have a chance to showcase their talents and stand a chance to play the same stage alongside the festival's international headliners. Past winners have included The Ransom Collective, Strange Creatures, and Oh, Flamingo!—all of whom have proven to be truly promising acts.  

Recently, the Top 10 finalists have been named, and it's up to us Wanderers to help decide which among them will go on to compete at the Jungle Battle, where they will be naming the ultimate Wanderband. So which band will have their gig of a lifetime?

Let's get to know the Top 10 Wanderbands!
