Oxford'S LONGEST-RUNNING Student A Cappella Group
ABOUT US
The Oxford Alternotives are one of Oxford University's finest mixed a cappella groups, and its longest-running student a cappella group! Formed in 1993, the Oxford Alternotives were created as an alternative to and an escape from Oxford's prominent chapel choir scene. The Alternotives have gone from strength to strength through the years, competing on BBC1's Pitch Battle, regularly performing at Edinburgh Festival Fringe (including a sold out show in 2024), and reaching the UK Final of the International Championships of Collegiate A Capella.
Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026!
Get hyped, because this summer we're returning to the Fringe from 17 to 22 August, TheSpace @ Surgeons' Hall !
Look forward to new arrangements of ABBA, Adele, Beatles, and Bastille, as well as some old favourites such as Killer Queen, Mr Blue Sky, and Alts' classic Dancing in the Moonlight!

Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024
In 2024, we went on a nine-day run to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, performing songs from Queen, Britney Spears, and Coldplay (with a Frozen mash-up for the kids and the kids at heart)! It was certainly a roller-coaster of a trip, with six sold-out shows, 95% of tickets sold, a 'highly recommended show' review, and an appearance on BBC News!
Don't worry if you missed it - we're returning this summer from 17-22 August, TheSpace @ Surgeons' Hall !
