Sebuah ajang musikal mencengangkan dus bertingkat dunia, datang dan terjadi di Nusantara: Hard Rock Battle of the Bands.

Sesuai tajuknya, acara yang berwujud festival ini diprakarsai oleh Hard Rock International dalam rangka hari jadinya yang ke-40. Konsepnya sendiri adalah seleksi band mulai tingkat lokal, regional hingga akhirnya memilih finalis di sesi paling akhir serta diberi kesempatan tampil di malam puncak nan bertabur figur-figur mahsyur (sebagai ilustrasi, deretan penampil di pagelaran sebelumnya adalah sebangsa Pearl Jam, Paul McCartney, The Who, The Police, Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, The Killer, dsb).

Secara rinci urut-urutannya pertama kali adalah berupa pensortiran awal para pendaftar. Yang lolos, tampil dalam babak kualifikasi (Qualifying Battles) dimana masing-masing grup beraksi secara live di Hard Rock Cafe Bali atau Jakarta serta dievaluasi oleh barisan juri yang terdiri dari pesohor dalam negeri juga profesional industri musik.

Para juara dari babak penyisihan di Hard Rock Cafe Bali & Jakarta bakal ditempatkan dalam 1 dari 4 kategori wilayah (regional) dunia, dan selanjutnya akan dinilai kembali bersama bandband manca negara lainnya oleh juri terkemuka sejagat raya. Bagi mereka yang sukses tembus ke tahap akhir wilayah (regional finalists) akan diberitakan ke www.hardrock.com dimana para penggemar dapat memberikan suara pada kongsi musisi pujaannya.

Kampiun seluruh 4 wilayah akan memperoleh tiket ke London, diperlakukan layaknya rockstar pula berkesempatan turut berpartisipasi di ajang Hard Rock Calling 2011 pada 24-26 Juni di Hyde Park, London. Band-band nomor wahid dari 4 wilayah yang menyabet voting paling berlimpah dari fans akan dipersilakan menjadi opening act dari salah satu headliners di panggung utama (main stage). Sementara urutan ke dua sampai ke empat dari banyaknya voting bakal berkesempatan tampil di panggung kedua (second stage).

Siapa saja boleh turut berlomba? Semua grup bisa asal telah berusia minimal 18 tahun, memainkan musik karya sendiri, dan terdiri dari 2-5 anggota. Jika klop di urusan persyaratan, segera mendaftarkan diri Hard Rock Cafe Bali atau Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta—band diminta mendaftarkan diri ke Hard Rock Cafe terdekat dan hanya menyerahkan satu formulir sebab jika kedapatan melakukan pendaftaran ganda akan langsung didiskualifikasi. Pendaftaran tak dipungut biaya alias gratis.
