Bristol has one of the best alternative scenes in the country, with a huge array of gig venues, pubs and clubs. If you’re into anything from rock to pop punk, metal to emo, and all things alternative then RockSoc is the society for you! We are one of the largest and oldest university rock societies in the country, so there’s something for everyone - no matter your tastes!
Our event calendar is filled with regular pub socials, gigs (both hosting our own where you can perform solo or with a band, as well as outings to see some your favourite artists performing), a huge variety of club nights, karaoke and pub quizzes as well as one-offs like our infamously horrifying Halloween Party and elegantly alternative Summer Formal. And that’s just nightlife - we also do daytime events like go-karting, laser tag, movie viewings, brunch and BBQs: not to mention our jamming sessions, where you can rock out with other members to any song you want to play!
Our membership for the year is only £3.50 and includes exclusive discounts to numerous alternative venues, pubs, and club nights (so you make your money back in no time). Deals include:
