Three tournaments, two cities, and now it all comes down to one night. The All-Stars Championship is the finale of Season 3 of the Back2Back DJ Battle, powered by G-SHOCK Radio. Past winners are coming back, runners-up have earned their place, and wildcards are getting a second shot, with the best of London and Manchester in one room. It’s part reality show, part sports final, part rave, and it’s all live.

Eight DJs, each representing a different sound, will go head to head from the quarter-finals through to the Grand Final: dubstep, techno, Afrobeats, drum & bass, grime, baile funk, soca and breakbeats. The rounds are built to push them out of their comfort zone, testing technical skill, crowd control and pure selection, before a 15-minute “Track 4 Track” showdown crowns the Season 3 champion.

You’ll have a say in who wins, too. Every battle is decided by three votes: two from the judges and one from the room, measured by how loud you scream. Nicky from Noise and Sharpson from Choki Biki Records are judging, and the night is hosted by DJ NAV and Limi.

Some of this line-up are already being noticed beyond the battle, with two making the final 30 of Ministry of Sound’s Boxed In competition in September. This is your chance to see them in the room before the rest of the world catches on.

The champion takes home a radio residency with G-SHOCK Radio, a festival slot with Noise in 2027, an AlphaTheta OMNIS-DUO kit and more.
