HIGHER POWER, VUKOVI, CASSYETTE and many more of the biggest and
best of the UK Alternative acts for one day only across two stages live from the heart of Newcastle!Taking place this year at Northumbria University Student’s Union on Saturday
September 10th 2022, in what’s set to be a momentous event – RISEFEST is
is now just
FIVE DAYS AWAY!
There has been no shortage of dance, indie or nostalgia focused one-day
festivals in North East but never a purely alternative-based festival on this scale.
RISEFEST is now here to fill that gap to create something that the North East
scene has been sorely missing.
RISEFEST states: “When we started RISE six years ago we always wanted to
do something special for this city, whether it was making sure that the music
was banging, the vibe was amazing or the drinks were cheap – and we created
Newcastle’s biggest, award-winning alt club night!
Now, six years later, we’ve worked hard enough to go even bigger and give
Newcastle it’s very own modern alternative festival. Join us as we bring you
some of the biggest names in the UK Alternative scene, across two stages in
one day!”
RISEFEST 2022 will not only feature two stages of non-stop live music, but
there will also be official merchandise outlets, food stalls and exciting new
vendors to check out – full list of who will be in attendance this year coming
very soon.
“Static Dress are remaking post-hardcore for Gen Z” – VICE
“Packed full with righteous anger and drama-filled lyrics” – The FADER
“The UK rock scene’s most exciting new band” – Upset
“Static Dress are the post-hardcore band from Leeds making you miss MySpace” – i-D
“One of the most inventive and inspiring acts in the burgeoning new wave of post-hardcore” – Kerrang!
Few bands within the alternative scene had the devastating impact that STATIC DRESS have over the last year. Voted by Kerrang! readers as the Best New Band Of The Year in 2021, their debut project “Prologue…” set the stage for what is one of UK’s music’s most exciting creative forces; a comic book and official soundtrack that built the foundations for the parallel universe they have teased with innovative puzzles and lore that has captivated fans.
Hot off the heels other debut LP release, “Rouge Carpet Disaster“, STATIC DRESS will be taking to the Main Stage and performing their last UK live show of this year THIS SATURDAY at RISEFEST!
