1 week ago | beat.com.au | Jacob Colliver

This event is part of the 2025 Rising festival. Be there for your favourite new band’s first and only 15 minutes of infamy. Little Bands was a scene that ran parallel to punk in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. It started when synth-punk mavericks Primitive Calculators were living in North Fitzroy, next door to fellow local renegade and electronic post-punk pioneer Ollie Olsen, who led the great Whirlywirld.
Forest Swords (Live)

1 week ago | beat.com.au | Jacob Colliver

This event is part of the 2025 Rising festival. Defiant, desolate, and darkly beautiful—Forest Swords returns after a decade to bring his deep, industrial psychedelia to RISINGForest Swords, aka composer/producer Matthew Barnes, is playing live in Australia for the first time in a decade. He’s unsheathing music that bleeds between muscular and bleak, haunting and euphoric. A set of expressive post-industrial landscapes integrated with HD imagery on ACMI’s massive cinema screen.
Soccer Mommy

1 week ago | beat.com.au | Jacob Colliver

This event is part of the 2025 Rising festival. Nashville’s lovelorn grunge-pop queen is coming. She’s a five-foot-four engine, head in the clouds, waiting to move. Listening to Soccer Mommy can feel like a climbing into a treehouse built from sorrow. Reach the top and feel the sweet Tennessee breeze. Know you’re not alone because Soccer Mommy is right there. Then there’s the surge of her indie crescendos, and the fuzzy glide of her biggest alt rock moments.
The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave

1 week ago | beat.com.au | Jacob Colliver

This event is part of the 2025 Rising festival. Witness the chaotic bliss of a 3-day rave, condensed into an hour. Experience the messy sprawl of the rave—all the pain, sweat and catharsis—condensed into one candy-fed endurance piece. A realm, where music fans become victims to their passions. Where societal mores and political structures get temporarily pulverised by the bpm. And where the shuffle and spin is the only way to win, again and again and again.
Black Star (Yasiin Bey & Talib Kweli)

1 week ago | beat.com.au | Jacob Colliver

This event is part of the 2025 Rising festival. It’s the third-eye vision. Five-side dimension. Brooklyn’s indie-rap icons Black Star are blazing into town for the first time ever. Last year Yasiin Bey performed The Ecstatic at RISING. He sprinkled dead roses on stage. He urged us to free our minds. And, when he bounced in liquid-time to ‘History’, it was so good you almost forgot Talib Kweli wasn’t there for his verse. Well, guess what, Black Star are united.
