DPA are committed to giving all young artists the opportunity to showcase their work, no matter what the genre!

 

Young Dudley based Rock bands get the opportunity to experience and be involved with professional gigs at nac on a regular basis. The Arts Centre is transformed into a Rock venue for one night each term and has exceptional support from the community.

 

Bands are predominantly made up of High School and College pupils, but we have been known to have one or two primary bands as well! A lot of the bands which take part in our nac Rock nights, also go on to audition for the opportunity to perform at DPA's Summer Festival in the unprecedented Rock The Castle gig.
