LEEDS: Freshers' Bandeoke 2026

Get ready to take the stage like never before at Bandeoke – tHE ultimate live music takeover during our fresher's week; where karaoke meets full band performance!

Whether you're a vocal powerhouse, a shredding guitarist, a groove-loving bassist, or a drum kit destroyer, this is your chance to shine. Students can sign up to sing or play any instrument on a wide selection of songs, backed by a professional house band ready to bring the energy and keep the vibes high all night long.

🎶 What to Expect:

• A live band made up of your new lecturers to support your performance – no backing tracks here!
• A sign-up sheet for students to choose their songs and instruments.
• A setlist of crowd-pleasers and classics across genres – or bring your own!
• A buzzing atmosphere in the iconic Howard Assembly Room's Bar, one of Leeds' most beloved arts venues.

Open to all new ICMP and SAE students.

Whether you're looking to perform, jam with friends, or just soak in the talent, Bandeoke is the perfect night to celebrate music, collaboration, and community.

Please remember to bring Proof of Age with you, this venue serves alcohol and you will not be able to grab an alcoholic beverage without it!
