Here’s how each Uni of Liverpool society would act at Coachella – based purely on vibes

The thought of Liverpool students making it to Coachella is already wild, but imagine every university society rolling in like it’s their moment to shine – in the ultimate society showdown. The cheer squad would serve as best dressed, obviously, and the music society sees it as their opportunity to brag about all of the super underground acts that you definitely haven’t heard of before.

The cultural phenomenon of Coachella keeps us all in a chokehold this time of year, so there’s no better time to imagine how your own society would put your favourite influencers to shame by rocking up with a Shit Indie Disco flag, searching for the closest thing to a Fat Frog that they can find in the desert.

Here’s how we think the different societies at the University of Liverpool would show up, show out, and show off. Based purely on vibes, duh.

Drama Society

Anyone from drama society would be dressed to kill in full glitter, fake blood, or something ironic. You can expect interpretive dances mid-crowd, where everyone gets lost in the performance, and no one can decide if it’s art or just a distraction. At some point, they’ll loudly debate whether Beabadoobee is performative or profound, throwing in the latest gossip about her friendship with Matty Healy like it’s a Shakespearean tragedy.

Oh, and they’ll definitely be arguing whether Lola Young is a true artist or just an industry plant.

Rugby boys

Within minutes of arriving, they’ve shed their shirts and cracked open a crate of beers.

Sweat is already dripping, and as the day progresses, expect one of them to end up on stage during Travis Scott‘s set – forever bragging about it to anyone who’ll listen. Another will be escorted out before sunset, likely after an incident involving a mosh pit and a slightly broken fence. You can guarantee at least one of them will be begging a netball girl to let him carry her on his shoulders (in a nonchalant way, of course) – only for it to be the highlight of his year.

Feminist Society

If anyone from the feminist society managed to bag a Coachella ticket this year, they’d rock up to the desert armed with signs and vibing hard to FKA Twigs. Their Instagram stories will be filled with videos of Kneecap, and they’ll most likely make a point of educating everyone on the controversy of Naoise.

In an ideal world, they would run a consent tent that’s actually the safest and coolest place to chill, and have collaborated with first aid to ensure everyone’s comfort. They provide a place of peace away from the chaos, and are the ultimate festival big sister with a bum bag filled to the brim with essentials.

DJ Society

Everyone from the DJ society will have their eyes locked on the sound system, analysing every little aspect of every single set while insisting they could do a better job than most of the festival DJs, obviously.  No doubt they’ll beg to jump on the decks during bathroom breaks to get the coolest promo photo for their socials.

Their jealousy is palpable as they watch Music Society casually stroll into their set in the local tent. They’ll keep the vibe alive at Sammy Virji though, handing out tech tips and scheming their way into the festival’s after parties. If there’s any group you’d want to be a part of in a festival setting, it’s this one.

Medicine Society

These guys would be sober, organised, and annoyingly responsible. Expect to see all the future doctors wearing matching bucket hats and carrying tiny clipboards, as they’d have a meticulously planned spreadsheet of every act. If someone passes out, they’re already checking vitals before security even arrives.

Unfortunately, none of them can stay the whole time because, you know, those 9am placement shifts in the hospital come first.

Fashion Society

No one quite compares to the Fashion Society. They’re always dressed like they’ve stepped out of a high-fashion magazine. They might be judging every influencer’s outfits, because they just know they’re setting the trends for this year’s festival style.

Last minute Coachella outfits are a myth to this group – their planning started before they even bagged a festival ticket. They’ll be the most confident people you’ll see strutting around the festival site, and you just know that their socials will be flooded with the most aesthetically pleasing photos you’ve ever seen in your life.

Hockey girls

Glittery face gems, boots, and fringe jackets. You’ll spot them in a crowd from miles away, truly embracing the festival spirit and getting up on someone’s shoulders for all of their favourite songs. Starting pres at 9am is no longer looking wise for the hockey team, and starting drama with the netball girls by the second day is never going to end well.

Environmental Society

Every member of UoL’s most eco-friendly society is bound to show up with reusable cups and a stash of eco-conscious essentials packed away in their tent. You already know that their camping area will be the cosiest and cleanest of them all, and they’ll also lead the protest against fast fashion, turning their own outfits into walking statements.

They’ll be wearing the most incredibly curated outfits that are naturally one of a kind – all thrifted or second hand, obviously. If you want to bump into any society at Coachella, make sure it’s this lot, because they’ll be the friendliest group you’ll find all weekend.

Film and Media Society

You can catch these guys pretending they’re too cool for the main stage. You’ll find them camped at the weirdest art installation, quoting Wes Anderson films and filming everything on a Super 8 camera for their next big project. They’re in their own world, documenting the chaos for posterity, while everyone else is in the thick of it.

Surf Society

How they got from the Wirral to Coachella in wetsuits might be a mystery, but this society will be having the best time surfing the sand dunes in the deserts of California. They’re lying on their dry robes, sunburnt in the rain, and somehow vibing harder than anyone.

It’s safe to say that Coachella for Liverpool students wouldn’t just be a festival – it would be a society showreel. The ultimate crossover episode, if you will. It would be a two week long campus-wide battle for best vibes, best style, and the ultimate experience, with each society bringing something uniquely them to the scene.
