Darwin’s Favourite Beachside Music Festival Is Back With A Killer Lineup
Top end, top music
By Guest Styler | 8th May 2025If you’re craving a festival that combines sun, sand, and sensational sounds, mark your calendar for Saturday, May 17, 2025, because BASSINTHEGRASS is returning to Darwin’s iconic Mindil Beach, promising a day where the beats are as hot as the Top End sun.
Celebrating its 22nd year, BASSINTHEGRASS has curated a lineup that’s nothing short of stellar. Leading the charge are Aussie hip-hop legends Hilltop Hoods, fresh off their latest hit “The Gift,” featuring Darwin’s own Marlon. Joining them are international sensations like UK’s Jax Jones and Jaded, and Nigerian star Kah-Lo, ensuring a global groove on the beach. The festival also boasts a diverse array of local talent, from electronic maestro Luude to indie darlings The Jungle Giants, Hope D, and Meg Mac.
And because good vibes are more than just music, you’ll find beach bars, tasty food trucks, and chilled lounges for that perfect break between sets. Take a spin through the silent disco, dive into the BASSment stage, or head to BASS Camp if you’re bringing the kiddos – yep, it’s family friendly!
There’s something undeniably special about dancing with thousands of strangers-turned-mates as the sun sets over the Arafura Sea. It’s sweaty, it’s spectacular, and it’s oh-so-Darwin.
So pack your SPF, dust off your festival ‘fits, and prepare to soak up the sounds and sun. Because when it comes to unforgettable Aussie festivals, BASSINTHEGRASS hits all the right notes. Final release tickets are still available here.
