BACK2BACK DJ BATTLE
BACK2BACK DJ BATTLE
UK’S official LIVE & OPEN-FORMAT
DJ Tournament in London
MTV reality TV meets Boiler Room style DJ battles
how it works - DJs
Powered by G Shock Radio, this is a year-long competition with four qualifying tournaments and a grand-finale. Aiming to find London's next up-and-coming DJ. Think MTV reality TV meets Boiler Room; where 8 DJs battle to win the hearts and minds of the audience and judges, to make it through to the next round… All in one night!
During the first two rounds of the competition, DJs are competing to represent their style, test their mixing skills, track selections and artist performance. There’s a panel of judges from the music industry to provide feedback and votes along side the crowd.
The final two DJs standing will showdown in a 15-minute battle of pure Back 2 Back & Track 4 Track transitions, determining who will be crowned champion. Each winner of the tournaments will be invited back to the All-Stars battle in November to fight once more and win a DJ slot at a UK Festival managed by Riot Noise, plus many other prizes to nurture their career.

Get ready to be part of the action! #ChooseYourFighter
Show your support for the DJ who keeps you dancing or leaves you screaming for more. We'll have a decibel sound measure in place to decide the scream-o-meter.
Each tournament is rowdy, sweaty and full of good vibrations. It becomes a party, a singalong, a dance-along, and sometimes gets deafening when it came down to voting - but it was all worth it to crown the winner.

THE STORY
The journey began with a pilot show at Hop Kingdom skatepark in January 2024 resulting in a massive success. This initial triumph paved the way for Back2Back DJ Battle to make history as a unique live-audience DJ competition in the UK. Since then, it’s now become the hub for discovering talents from the ground up, providing A&R to bookers and promoters as well as nurturing emerging artists to accelerate in their music careers.
