This event is a Halloween-themed music night which was introduced for the first time in Pakistan by the Music Society of LUMS and is now held in universities throughout the country. It is one of the biggest events held by any society within LUMS and approximately 1,000 students attend every year. The Music Society puts up a series of Halloween themed songs to participants dressed up in various costumes enjoying the food available alongside.

At least once a year, the Music Society holds a workshop where a prominent member of the music industry explains or teaches the technicalities of music to an auditorium full of students. In the past, these have the ranged from lessons on vocals and musical instruments to those on eastern raags and music as an art form in Pakistan. Previous workshops have been held by a stream of diverse artists such as Tina Sani, Umair Jaswal and Poor Rich Boy.

LMF is the largest national musical competition and event held by any society in Pakistan. It is a 3-day event which consists of various sets of competitions including: Battle of the Bands, Instrumental Competitions, Music Trivias, Eastern & Western Singing Competitions and Antakshari. Music Society’s flagship event also includes a large-scale concert, a Qawwali night, etc. Over 3,000 students from universities and high schools across Pakistan participate in LMF, making it the largest event hosted annually by the Music Society of LUMS.

The Indie Music Food Festival is the first of its kind. It’s a collaborative effort between both the Music Society of LUMS and the LUMS Culinary Club. The aim of the event is to have a synchronization between Indie Music and food to allow for a concert which not only encourages great talent but allows the participants of the event to have an unforgettable experience filled with ear touching music and mouth-watering food.

Our open houses are immensely popular amongst the student body of LUMS and are completely packed three times in every academic year. It is an opportunity for anyone who shares a passion for music to come and perform regardless of their membership in the society before a crowd of 300-350 people.

The Music Society aims to host two concerts during the academic year. The first one, named ‘The Indie Music Food Festival’ is planned to be held in late November in collaboration with the LUMS Culinary Club. This concert serves the purpose of providing a platform and exposure to independent, smaller scale indie artists in the Pakistani music industry. The second concert, dubbed the ‘Annual Concert’, is held in April and is primarily headlined by a nationally or internationally renowned artist in the industry. The concerts are held near the close of each semester to end them on a high note and are attended by over 1,000 people.

This is an annual event held within LUMS where bands are formed from each year of students at LUMS who then go head to head in a judged competition. The batch with the most well-rounded performance wins the event which is showcased before approximately 600 students.
