Indie Society
Indie Sound, Universally Renound; Join Our Society and See Where You're Bound
Manchester is the Indie musical and lifestyle hub of the UK. Together, with our brother Society at the UoM, we aim to enhance the alternative scene by bringing together likeminded people into a community of love and appreciation. Any easygoing individual interested in the classics (Cure, Smiths, Stone Roses, Oasis), the newer stuff (Courteeners, Arctic Monkeys, The Vaccines) or anything in between is welcome to join us on our weekly socials and nights out to Manchester's bustling Indie Night Life, or come to any of our get-togethers through the year.
What We Do
• Weekly Socials/Nights Out - Every week we venture out into Manchester's Indie night life with discounted tickets and/or drinks at most venues such as 42s, Venue, Deaf Institute.
• Alternative Socials - Some weeks we will hold alternative socials where we will partake in Indie Bingo (B-Indie-Go), general get-togethers at local pubs and bars for more chilled and varied events.
• Gigs - We will coordinate with our members to attend local gigs around Manchester, big and small alike.
• Support Members' Musical Endeavours - If you are a member and part of a band or an aspiring artist, we will help give you exposure and attend any gigs or events you partake in as a society, supporting you on your journey

Frequently asked questions
Some societies are free to join, whilst others may have a small fee of around £5 to £10 for the whole year.
Your joining fees are then used to cover the running of the society (sometimes there’ll be extra costs if the society offers classes, special events or trips).
Any questions? Drop the society a message or speak to us.
Current Manchester Met students are welcome to join our societies all year round.
