This year's BASSINTHEGRASS is on track to be the best ever, and a range of new additions are set to ensure music lovers have the most memorable time possible.
Taking place at Mindil Beach, one of the nation's most stunning festival locations, BASSINTHEGRASS is the ultimate music festival experience featuring 12 hours of live music across two stages from Australia's top music talent. But as well as music from the likes of Boy & Bear, Hilltop Hoods, Dope Lemon, Jessica Mauboy and The Teskey Brothers, there is plenty to keep you entertained away from the main stages.
Most attractions will be located in and around The Village, including a ferris wheel, giant lawn games and the BASS Beauty Bar, for aspiring fashionistas. Whether you're after a make-up touch up, a mani or pedi, henna tattoos, braids, feathers, a massage or a new haircut, you'll be looking your best after a visit to the BASS Beauty Bar. There's even a Champagne bar!
There is the Power and Water Refreshed space when you need some time out to charge your phone or rest your feet. If you're intent on making a statement, visit the Illumination Station for your glitter fix by day, and get covered in amazing body marbling paint by night. You'll be transformed into a glowing work of art! Once your masterpiece is finished, head on over to the Silent Disco and dance to your own beat until 11pm.
There will also be a unique Welcome to Country, to welcome festivalgoers to Larrakia land, on which the event takes place and, if you love the beach, don't miss the Sunset Disco Beach Club. New at BASS this year, here you'll find live music, drag performances, hula hoop shows, Caribbean bongo sets, a selfie zone and more. And returning this year are the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, featuring foods from around the world. Make your choice, and tuck in while the sun slips into the sea.

Quotes from Minister for Major Events Natasha Fyles:
"Since moving from the Darwin Amphitheatre to allow room for growth, BASSINTHEGRASS has gone from strength to strength, with 14,000 attendees last year and 16,000 expected this year.
"BASSINTHEGRASS has long been a rite of passage for Territorians, and now it is becoming the same for interstaters, having firmly earnt its spot on the national music festival calendar last year.
"This means more and more people visiting the Territory to attend BASSINTHEGRASS, with huge benefits for the local tourism and hospitality industries in particular. But of course those benefits trickle right down through our economy, with associated industries also reaping the rewards.
"It's great to see these Australian acts in the Top End, wowing the crowds at BASSINTHEGRASS - we know the benefits and visitors it brings to the Territory and will continue to invest in this festival."
