Corporate Battle of the Bands 2026
Corporate Battle of the Bands presented by Cirrus Logic returns to ACL Live at the Moody Theater
Wednesday, June 10, 2026
Corporate Battle of the Bands (CBOB) transforms the iconic ACL Live at the Moody Theater stage into the most electrifying night of music and philanthropy! This annual event invites Austin's corporate rockstars to take centerstage, competing before a panel of local celebrity judges while raising critical funds for the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM). From pop to heavy metal, R&B to alternative rock, sponsoring businesses showcase their employees' unsung talent, battling it out for awards, prizes, and the title of 2026 Corporate Battle of the Bands BEST BAND!
Thanks to our incredible sponsors and supporters, CBOB 2025 raised nearly $280,000! Through partnerships with local area service providers, HAAM is able to leverage those dollars into over $1.9 million in direct healthcare services for the more than 3,200 Austin-area musicians HAAM annually serves. Thank you Austin!
