HOW TO PARTICIPATE AND BRING A DISPUTE TO KARAOKE COURT

1.1 Bringing a case to Karaoke Court

If you have a dispute with friend, family or neighbour that you want to finally resolve in a festive, entertaining and supportive environment, bring it to Karaoke Court.

*During
The event will begin with food and entertainment before the Karaoke Court session formally begins. First, the judge will call you and your partner to the stage and announce the facts of your dispute to the audience (jury). Next, you will present your songs.

Families: where should we go on holiday this year? Friends: can we eat at a different restaurant for once? Neighbours: whose turn is it to host the new year party?
