Turn up the heat in Australia’s Top End and experience Bass in the Grass, the Northern Territory’s premier music festival. Set against the palm-fringed shores of Mindil Beach, this high-energy celebration brings together top Australian acts, vibrant crowds, and those famous Darwin sunsets — all in one unforgettable day.
Soak up the sunshine as you dance beneath clear tropical skies, cool off with a sea breeze, and let the rhythm carry you from afternoon beats to a glowing twilight by the water.
Discover why Darwin is the jewel of the north, where world-class Australian artists perform against the backdrop of a blazing sunset and the sparkling Arafura Sea.
Bass in the Grass is more than a festival — it’s a tropical adventure set to the soundtrack of Darwin.
Event date is 16/5/26
