Hello!

RocSoc is Aberystwyth's definitive home of rock, metal and alternative music. You can find us every Wednesday during term time (excluding exam periods), from 9-11pm at various locations, and 11pm-2am in the Angel Inn backroom. Every week we offer up a place for all rock fans in Aber to enjoy a variety of rock and alternative music, with some nights geared towards specific genres, and others a mix for everyone to enjoy! Not to mention our request weeks, where those with paid memberships can enjoy requesting three songs of their own choice to be played at the social, so you can introduce everyone to your favourite niche bands, or get us to play your go-to classics!

Events

We will start our year with a fresher's pub crawl. After this, please expect many themed request nights and joint socials.

We are trying to add more sober socials into our society so that people don't feel any pressure to drink or be around alcohol. Although, of course, when we have our drinking socials, we don't expect anyone to drink and would still like to make sure everyone is comfortable.

We will begin at at 9 pm, we then move to Angel at 11 pm for boogying all night until 2 am!

Membership

Our membership costs £5, and for that price, you'll receive discounted entry to all gigs hosted by RocSoc throughout the academic year, a discount on any other paid-entry RocSoc events, and the ability to make requests at our request nights.

Being a member will also entitle you to requests for our requests nights! Do you want to show your fellow members that niche cover band you found at 4am? Anything that is remotely Rock, Metal or Alternative is fair game, so go nuts!

Inclusivity

RocSoc treats the equality and inclusion of all members with the utmost importance. RocSoc has always been run by Students from all walks of life. It is one of our firm beliefs that music can be enjoyed by all and that every student is welcome at RocSoc, regardless of:
