About this event

Four universities. Eight bands. One stage. One winner.

The Inter-University Battle of the Bands is back as London Loud, bigger, louder, and more competitive than ever. Representing Queen Mary, UCL, LSE, and Imperial, the top two bands from each uni will go head-to-head in an unforgettable night celebrating the best of London’s student music scene.

Expect a diverse mix of sounds as each band fights for your vote and the title of Best Student Band in London. Whether you’re a hardcore gig-goer or just looking for an epic night out with friends, this is the event you don’t want to miss.

🗳 Your vote decides the winner, all voting will take place in person on the night, so your cheers and your ballot both count. The atmosphere will be electric, the competition fierce, and the talent absolutely unmatched.

Last year, Queen Mary brought the trophy home with the powerhouse performance of Maiden Voyage, will the bands this year defend their crown? Can QM make it two years in a row or will another uni steal the spotlight this time?
