The Battle of the Bands found a new home this year and somehow that sponsor clash worked itself out. The Honda Battle of the Bands pulled into the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta this year. The future of the HBOB in Atlanta is uncertain at best. The annual event will have to find a new home for 2019 because Atlanta will be hosting the Super Bowl. Stay tuned for more details.
For now, our band photographer extraordinaire Vincent Myers has all of the action for you to enjoy.
