Sound, Soul & Showmanship: The 2025 PEPSI® National Battle of the Bands Prepares to Rock Houston Once Again
When tradition marches in with the thunder of drums and a blaze of brass, Houston listens. And on August 23, 2025, the Bayou City is about to listen, watch, and celebrate like never before. The 2025 PEPSI® National Battle of the Bands (NBOTB) is set to electrify NRG Stadium once again, bringing a cultural crescendo of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), their legendary marching bands, and a movement that pulses with history, pride, and rhythm. With a press conference that set the tone at NRG Stadium, Webber Marketing, alongside the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority and Lone Star Sports & Entertainment, laid down the gauntlet: This isn’t just an event—it’s a national stage for excellence, unity, and the rich musical heritage of Black America.
