Arizona Bike Week, the premier motorcycle rally in the Southwest, is gearing up for an electrifying music showdown as ten local bands compete for four prized performance slots at the HandleBar Saloon during the upcoming rally at WestWorld of Scottsdale, April 8 – 12, 2026.

Arizona Bike Week receives well over a hundred inquiries each year from talented bands eager to perform at the rally. The Rock Out to AZ Bike Week contest was created to address this overwhelming response and showcase the state’s diverse musical talent. This will be the third annual event and producers are expecting around 2,000 in attendance.
The ten Valley bands that will be competing are Bad Reputation, BadJune, Brownedog Blues Band, Doubleblind, Great Black Swamp, Last Train to Juarez, Magnum Axxe, Miss Conduct, Plum and Vertigo. These popular, local bands have already made it through the first round of online voting, which started with 24 bands, and are now moving onto the finals.
They will compete for the audience’s favor, with attendees having the unique opportunity to vote in person for their favorite acts.
Event-goers can expect an exciting day of music, motorcycles, and more. Each band will showcase its talent with a 20-minute set, and voting will be conducted exclusively in person. Each attendee can vote one time, for up to four bands.
In addition to the musical showdown, the event will feature food trucks, a bar, a custom bike show, an indoor scavenger hunt, a bikini bike wash and a chance to win a $1,500 gift card – ensuring a vibrant atmosphere for both music and motorcycle enthusiasts.
Lisa Cyr, event producer of Arizona Bike Week, expressed her enthusiasm for the competition, stating, “Rock Out to AZ Bike Week has become a cornerstone in our efforts to celebrate and support the incredible musical talent that Arizona has to offer. This competition provides a stage for local bands and allows our audience to actively participate in shaping the entertainment lineup for Arizona Bike Week.
