Halloween - Open Mic Fright Night
Saturday 31st October 2026

Hopey NOISE is back to the familiar lands of the Hopetoun Port Hotel and it's not just about live local awesome fantastical music which we are ALL about.
Landing on the SPOOKIEST night of the year means dressing up for the sake of it and The Port Hotel has a voucher up for grabs for the best dress scene setter in Hopey.
You know the drill, but in case you don't...

Hopey NOISE (Noise = Network of Independent Sound Explorers) Open Mic is a chance for locals to get amongst a stage with a full back line of equipment, siq PA and cheerleaders by the bulk to build confidence and real on-stage experience!
We got you - and everyone loves nothing more than YOU sharing your love for music!
We don't care how far along your musical journey you are - if you want to have a crack then this is the space for you to have a go and dressing up only makes it all the more fun - it is not a prerequisite...but it would be kinda fun)

Big BIG props to our biggest creative supporter, who backs us up every step of the way - Ravensthorpe Regional Arts Council (RAVE ABOUT ARTS)
FRRR for helping bring our community together to find connection after trying times and the Port Hotel for partnering in supporting local live music with good, grand vibes.
This is a special one in Hopetoun after a long, cold Winter so let's make it a night for the ages.
Thank you to Sage_Woomy for your top-notch poster art and on the day tech help - you're a gem and love having you on board gal!
