RISING has confirmed the final event for its 2025 program, with a one-day music and cultural takeover set to close the festival inside one of Melbourne's newest underground train stations.

Held in partnership with the Metro Tunnel Creative Program, 'Track Work - Music From The Underground' will be staged on Sunday 15 June from 11am to 4pm at Anzac Station.

The free event invites the public underground for the first time, offering live performances, art installations and access to the station before it opens to commuters.

Anzac Station will be transformed into a live music venue more than 20 metres below St Kilda Road, with the stage showcasing artists from First Nations label Bad Apples Music.

The lineup features Yorta Yorta rapper Briggs, Malyangapa/Barkindji artist BARKAA, Butchulla musician Birdz and Newcastle-based DJ and producer Jayteehazard.

RISING Co-Artistic Director Ms Hannah Fox described the event as 'a powerful finale' that merges contemporary music with urban design.

"Briggs, BARKAA and their Bad Apples Music family will reveal one of the city's most significant new spaces with a baptism of bass and beats in a free afternoon of DJs, MCs and celebration," she said.

Briggs, who launched Bad Apples Music in 2015, has long been a key voice in Australian hip hop.

His discography includes 'The Blacklist' and 'Sheplife', as well as the award-winning project A.B. Original.

In 2025, he launched a new punk-influenced project titled 'Big Noter'.

Joining him is BARKAA, whose music tackles issues such as intergenerational trauma and cultural resilience.

Since her emergence, she has been widely recognised for her lyrical strength and advocacy for Indigenous women.

Birdz, known for his socially conscious songwriting, has released a series of acclaimed works including 'Train of Thought' and 'Legacy'.

Jayteehazard brings a diverse blend of electronic, hip hop and RnB, and has previously collaborated with each of the featured artists.

Alongside the music program, visitors will be able to explore Anzac Station's architecture through a self-guided tour.

The station features 'Tracks' by Maree Clarke, a major new artwork spanning all five Metro Tunnel stations.

At Anzac, the piece includes floor mosaics depicting animal tracks of Bunurong and Boonwurrung Country, including fur seals and fairy penguins.

Additional artworks by Raafat Ishak and Fiona Hall are installed in the concourse and will also be accessible during the event.

Printed guides and supervisors will be available onsite to assist with information about the artworks and performance schedule.

Entry is free and open throughout the day, with access via Domain Road and Albert Road station entrances.

'Track Work - Music From The Underground' is supported by the Metro Tunnel Creative Program.

RISING is backed by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria and Visit Victoria.
