Lasalle is turning the volume up this February with the ninth run of the Rock & Indie Festival (RIF). Taking over the Lasalle College of the Arts campus on February 6 and 7, RIF 2026 will roll out 22 original local acts across two days, including names like Marian Carmel, jupiterkid, Mary Sue, sub:shaman, Nosedive and Blush – and that’s just scratching the surface.

This year’s theme, Blueprint, is about laying the foundations for what’s next. RIF has always been a launchpad, and in 2026, it’s doubling down on that role – giving undiscovered and rising musicians a proper stage to sharpen their craft and find their audience.

Performances will spill across two venues – Lasalle’s Flexible Performance Space and the Campus Green – with a lineup comprising open-call winners, standout student musicians from Lasalle’s School of Contemporary Music, and emerging local bands worth keeping on your radar. There’ll also be open mic sessions for anyone willing to step up and share their sound with a live crowd.

RIF 2026 will also be levelling up its Festival Village. What started with just eight booths last year has now ballooned to 25 stalls, featuring everything from handmade crafts and creative activities to food that’ll keep you fuelled between sets.

The best part? Entry is free. You’ll just need to make reservations for acts happening inside the Flexible Performance Space.
