Audio Futura and RYM Magazine are handing the keys of the underground over to the independent circuit. We are opening the grid to ALL rock genres and ALL languages. Bilingual and multi-language sets are highly welcome.
No tribute acts. No cover bands. No cover songs. If you want to step into the live finals on August 22nd at Backstage Live, your performance must consist entirely of your own original material.
Show up, plug in, and claim your spot.

🚫 THE REACTOR CONSTRAINTS
Ages: All performing musicians must be ages 15 to 50 [Minors 15-17 require a signed parent/guardian release form at live check-in].
Set Times: Finalist bands receive a strict 15-minute maximum live set window. Stage change-outs are locked to a tight 10-minute maximum ceiling—any change-out overage cuts directly into your own performance time block.
Scoring Rules: All results calculated via the 50/50 weighted portal system are absolute and final. If an act does not clear the matrix filter, all structural decisions remain binding—if you lose, you lose.
