Australia’s Top End will once again come alive with music, sun, and sand as BASSINTHEGRASS locks in its return for 2026. The Northern Territory’s premier music festival is officially scheduled for Saturday, 16th May, 2026, with the iconic Mindil Beach in Darwin set to host another unforgettable day of live music and good vibes.

This announcement comes hot off the success of the 2025 edition, which drew thousands of punters to the beachside stage for a massive lineup. Last year’s event featured standout sets from Hilltop Hoods, The Amity Affliction, Meg Mac, Luude, and The Jungle Giants, delivering a high-energy mix of hip hop, electronic, rock, and indie across a packed single-day schedule.

Although the 2026 artist lineup is yet to be revealed, fans can expect another diverse bill of big-name Australian acts, emerging talents, and high-energy DJs. BASSINTHEGRASS has built a strong reputation for showcasing a broad mix of genres while celebrating homegrown talent in one of the most unique festival settings in the country.

Held annually on the shores of Darwin’s Mindil Beach, BASSINTHEGRASS is known for its tropical energy, scenic sunset views, and welcoming crowd. With the date now confirmed, fans should stay tuned for ticket sale announcements and lineup news in the coming months.
