Harb Festival 2017

Harb Festival 2017 is the 4th edition of the annual music festival/competition that will select the Harbingean Provinces' entry for the Chummervision Radio Festival 2017. The final will take place on 3 February 2017 at the Hyphenation Arena in Bexhill, following 4 heats and 1 Wild Card round to determine the finalists.

Format
For the first time since Harb Festival 2015, the semi-finals, wild card round and final will not take place in one week. They will instead take place weekly, with the exception of the wild card round which will take place mid-week before the final.

This year the semi-finals and final will take place on Fridays, in order to tie in with new music releases and allow the wild card and non-qualifying entries to be released ahead of the next week's chart. In addition to this, it has been stated that the Harbingean Singles Chart will be counted down each week as a new feature to the contest.
