Harb Festival 2018

Harb Festival 2018 was the 5th edition of the annual music festival/competition that selected the Harbingean Provinces' entry for the Chummervision Radio Festival 2018. The final took place on 3 February 2017 at the Hyphenation Arena in Bexhill, following 4 heats and 1 Wild Card round to determine the finalists.

The winner of the contest was "My Breakup Anthem" by Caitlyn Shadbolt, winning with the biggest televote landslide in the contest's history. 6.3 million viewers tuned in for the final, down 1.4 million from the previous year.

It was the last edition of Harb Festival to take place in January, with Harb TV announcing that it will be using a different format to select their Chummervision Radio Festival entry in future. It will move to the summer from 2019, replacing Egerton Festival as the selection method for the Chummervision Song Contest.

Format
For this year, all semi-finals and the final will take place on a Saturday. The wild card round will take place on the Sunday following semi-final 4.
