HEAVY CONGRESS:Whether it’s reggae, dancehall, protest music, classic dub, electro and techno, or champeta Africana pumping from the intricately designed speaker stacks.
Heavy Congress will have it all on Saturday the 29th of March 2025.
After selling out the Forum in Melbourne City at RISING 2022, Heavy Congress is back for its long-awaited second instalment —and this time it’s even bigger. 12 crews—made up of DJs, MCs and live performing artists—each wield colossal custom speaker stacks, bombarding the audience with bass, in a bid for the crowd’s seal of approval.
Heavy Congress is Day/night event steeped in Soundsystem lore and culture—a movement that spread from its Jamaican, Colombian and Afro-Caribbean roots to sprout subcultures across the globe, from England to Australia.
Heavy Congress is the event that bring the community of bass minded people together in unity.
If you need a break from the bass, there are food trucks serving up the best food from the Caribbean and local offerings.
No two sound systems are the same, it is true that no 2 sound systems are equal. Each sound system is built for its own unique sound, shape, looks and place in the sound system community. The sound system is built to give pleasure to the hands that built it and to the tribes that presents themselves in front of it for musical pleasures. Once you’ve found your sound, you will be dedicated for life.
