Join us for an epic free reggae dancehall party for the music video shoot of the ‘Heavy Congress’ single! ‘Heavy Congress’ was one of the most memorable and talked about events at RISING Festival 2022. It welcomed over 1200 people to the Forum for a showcase of Naarm’s thriving sound system culture — a movement that began in Jamaica in the 1940s and sprouted subcultures across the globe, from England to Columbia to Australia.
The event featured a huge line up of 10 of Melbourne’s top sound system crews. In collaboration with producer Monkey Marc, RISING released the Heavy Congress single, a driving dancehall beat featuring singers Vida Sunshyne, Stick Mareebo, Spikey Tee and Anitra.
Join us at Mycelium Studios for a free party and music video shoot with DIY HiFi Solar Sound System, featuring the Heavy Congress single singers and Jungle City Projects dancers.
By attending, you are giving us permission to be filmed for the music video. 18+ only

Sydney Road Street Party: Upfield Train Line Disruptions
Due to works being completed by Public Transport Victoria (PTV) buses will be replacing trains on the Upfield Line between North Melbourne and Upfield this weekend. This means that no train services will be available at Brunswick or Jewell Stations during the Sydney Road Street Party.
- The Brunswick Station replacement bus stops will be relocated to the PTV bus route 508 stops (Victoria St/ Sydney Road Stop – north and South sides). The temporary stops are approximately a 50 metre walk from Brunswick Station.
- The Jewell Station replacement bus stops will be relocated to PTV bus route 504 stops (McKay Street/Brunswick Road, north and south sides). The temporary stops are approximately a 280 metre walk from Jewell Station.
Travelling by Tram
Trams on Route 19 will be operating every 8 minutes on either side of the road closure throughout the day. From 12.01am to 11.59pm, buses replace Route 19 trams between Stop 19 Brunswick Road and a temporary stop in Peveril Street at the Brunswick Tram Depot. Public transport is still a great way to travel to the street party!
