The Northern Territory’s biggest, and longest-running music festival, BASSINTHEGRASS, is back for its 22nd edition this May.

BASSINTHEGRASS will feature a diverse selection of 18 acts across hip hop, dance, electronic, house, pop, indie, folk, alternative and R&B. This year, punters can look forward to heavy hitters like Hilltop Hoods, Meg Mac, The Jungle Giants, Jax Jones, 3% and more.

“We haven’t been to Darwin for three years and our whole team are excited and looking forward to performing at BASSINTHEGRASS with such a great line-up,” Hilltop Hoods’ Debris says. “The festival is one of our favourite places to play.”

There’s plenty of home-grown talent to appreciate this year, including the Northern Territory’s own DJ/producer, Cyril – who will take to the stage after a stand-out 2024.

“Being a Darwin local, it’s a dream come true to come back home and play at BASSINTHEGRASS!” he says. “It’s such an incredible festival that brings some of the world’s best talent to the Northern Territory and I can't wait.”

If you’re keen on some electronic dance music, look no further than the 360-degree BASSment Stage, hosting a stellar line-up of electronic artists including Australian music producer, Luude.

“The all-ages music festival continues to evolve, offering fresh experiences for both new visitors and longtime fans,” Northern Territory Major Events Company Interim CEO Trevor Cox says. “Over 22 years, the Territory’s favourite music festival has grown into a must-attend event on the national festival calendar. It’s also one of the most affordable festivals in Australia.”

“BASSINTHEGRASS is bringing international artists together with Australia’s best, giving music fans the chance to experience world-class performances in a stunning beachside setting while continuing to support Australian artists on a big stage.”

Tickets are on sale now.

BASSINTHEGRASS takes place on 17 May at Mindil Beach (Darwin).
