The artists of BASS · 2003–2026
Explore every BASS year, find the artists who kept coming back and rediscover the line-ups that soundtracked Darwin.
BASS began in 2003 as the Territory's answer to a big-day-out music experience. It grew from a Darwin and Alice Springs launch into the NT's longest-running music festival, now staged beside the sunset at Mindil Beach.
The repeat offenders
49 artists have played BASS more than once. These six lead the festival's return list.
