In case you’re unfamiliar, the SoundClash is a faceoff between artists who go song-for-song and round for round while competing across elaborate opposite stages. The artists entertain the audience by performing covers, reimagining one of their competitor’s tracks, and shaking things up during a wildcard finale round. Ultimately the winner of each round is up to attendees who weigh in via a decibel reader.
Now for the first time ever, the 2022 Red Bull SoundClash offering will feature a dynamic touring clash between Larry June and Babyface Ray.

Dubbed Red Bull SoundClash: Detroit to the Bay, the hotly-tipped artists will go head to head in Detroit (10/15) and the Bay Area (11/3), to celebrate their respective hometowns and the link the cities share when it comes to music.
In addition to the pair of touring shows, Red Bull SoundClash Houston is also going down and it will feature a Texas-sized showdown between Gary Clark Jr. and Paul Wall.
