BASSINTHEGRASS 2022 becomes Northern Territory’s largest music festival ever

With thousands of people attending Darwin’s Mindil Beach for this year’s BASSINTHEGRASS, the event has become the Northern Territory’s biggest music festival ever. The 2022 instalment of BASSINTHEGRASS sold out weeks in advance, with 16,000 tickets sold to music fans from across the country.

Music fans from across Australia made the pilgrimage to the Top End to make the most of 12 hours of non-stop music from the nation’s hottest acts, as well as winners of the BASSINTHEGRASS Territory Artists Competition.

Local and interstate event goers enjoyed Darwin’s clear blue skies and a stunning sunset, alongside the festival’s unique attractions and activations, including the BASS Beauty Bar, Illumination Station, Sunset Disco Beach Club, Live Street Art Site, Silent Disco and much more.

This year, festival attendees experienced a moving Welcome to Country, Saltwater Smoking Ceremony and special performance by the Belyuen dancers on the beach as the sun set.

As dark descended, the party atmosphere ramped up with the venue at capacity and Australian music royalty such as Dope Lemon, G Flip, The Teskey Brothers, Hilltop Hoods, Peking Duk and Hot Dub Time Machine rocking the stages.

NT Chief Minister Natasha Fyles notes “The Territory’s iconic all-ages music festival BASSINTHEGRASS has delivered once again, with a record-breaking crowd living it up at one of the Top End’s most iconic locations, Mindil Beach.

“Over the last few years BASSINTHEGRASS has evolved into a must-do on the national events calendar, and more and more interstaters are heading north. People on site said coming to BASS had become an annual pilgrimage for them, due to the amazing event experience and endless Top End summer. This is why we continue to develop the event and pride ourselves on delivering an even bigger and better festival for attendees each year.

“The more people travel from interstate to come to BASS, the better the results for our economy, on so many levels as the benefits trickle down. Planning has already begun for BASS 2023, so get ready for another epic event.”
