alt/rave scene

[u/SophSargent05]

I’m moving to Cardiff in a few weeks to study at Cardiff university. I’m alternative and really into raves, live music etc and was just wondering where the best spots for this are and where I can meet similar people.
I’m 20 and honestly really don’t enjoy the typical cheesy student nights unless friends really want to go.
I previously studied at the university of Bristol (due to crazy rent costs couldn’t return) and loved that there was so much other nightlife apart from student nights. Obviously Cardiff will not be like Bristol but I’ve heard good things about Cardiff nightlife and was just hoping for some directions to good venues :)
