The Rising Room: Encore

Get ready for one last blowout before we roll out the red carpet for Rising Music Festival 2026. 
This closing celebration brings together an electric mix of returning favourites and exciting first-timers for a night that sums up everything we love about live music at The Phoenix.

Headlining the evening are Hivemind, back by popular demand after their standout sets that lit up The Phoenix last season. They’re joined by White Noise Machine, returning with a refreshed and even stronger lineup, promising a set that pushes their sound further than ever before. Ramping up the energy are local punk icons BEEF, bringing their trademark raw power to the stage, alongside Projects, the band we have heard so much about, making their long-awaited Phoenix debut.

It’s one final celebration of last year’s success, a chance to reunite with friends, discover new favourites, and kick off the road to Rising Music Festival 2026 in true style. Expect big sounds, loud crowds, and the kind of atmosphere you only get on a night like this.

Don’t miss it — once it’s gone, it’s gone.
