Broadcast focus on European Championships

If you can't get to Stavanger later this week then you can just sit back and enjoy all the great music making thanks to Wobplay.

Stavanger
  All the action can be enjoyed in the comfort of your home or on the go...

Final preparations are now well underway from bands and supporters alike ahead of the 2025 European Brass Band Championships in Stavanger.

Such has been the demand for tickets that the main events to be held at the city's Konserthus were sold out within minutes of them being releases.

Wobplay

However, even if you have not been able to get there yourself, you won't miss out on a moment of the main competition action thanks to Wobplay.

World of Brass will be live broadcasting all the main competition events — Championship Section (Set-Work and Own-Choice), Challenge Section, European Youth Championships, Gala Concert and all-important results.

So why not simply sit back, relax, our yourself a little something to aid the atmosphere and hear a full weekend of fantastic brass band playing in the comfort of your home — or even if you are on the go on your mobile phone or tablet.
