Indie Rock + Late-Night Hangs | Small Group, Queen West

A new format: you choose who you're interested in meeting

This meetup is about getting to know new people and sharing the experience in a small group (4-6 people).

We use the LYTT platform to handle group size and balance - so you're not just hoping someone interesting shows up. To apply you will need to create an account at lytt.me - it's free.

The event: Live Indie Rock at The Horseshoe Tavern

The Horseshoe Tavern has been the launching pad for Canadian rock since 1947. The Rolling Stones kicked off their '97 world tour here. Blue Rodeo ran their record label from the basement. The Tragically Hip wrote about the checkerboard floors. This is where legends are made - and where you'll catch tomorrow's headliners tonight.

Weekend showcases bring 2-4 indie rock bands through the intimate 300-person venue. Close to the stage, loud enough to feel it, small enough that every band treats it like their shot. The energy is electric, the sound system iconic, and your crew gets table seating to claim home base between sets. The whole experience runs about 3.5 hours.

The group: LYTT platform

LYTT forms small groups for events and activities you pick.

2. Browse others who applied and select who you'd want to meet
3. We form groups where the interest is mutual
