Quotes from Minister for Major Events Natasha Fyles:

“It’s exciting to see the high calibre of acts this festival continues to attract, along with the large numbers of interstate music fans who make the pilgrimage to Darwin for this iconic event and our amazing tourism experiences.

“Delivering a safe and enjoyable event for everyone is a top priority, which is why we are asking all BASSINTHEGRASS attendees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before entering the venue.

“There aren’t many places where you can see award-winning acts perform at a beachside music festival, and we pride ourselves on backing this unique event that continues to punch above its weight.”

Quotes from NT born and raised pop icon, actress and musician Jessica Mauboy:

“I can’t wait to get back home to Darwin and see you all and perform live with my band at Mindil Beach.

“I have missed performing live and I’m looking forward to singing some of your favourites and new music too with you all soon.”

Quotes from Australian DJ Hot Dub Time Machine:

“I really love BASSINTHEGRASS. I played it a few years ago and it’s such a rare festival that has such a lovely atmosphere – there really is no festival like it in Australia.

“I love coming to Darwin to perform because it’s so different. It’s all the same down south, so it’s great to come play in a totally different place. Plus, the crowds are always so good!”

Quotes from Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd:

“I’m pumped to be returning to Darwin after more than 10 years for BASSINTHEGRASS. It’s gonna be fire!”

Quotes from Australian singer-songwriter Vera Blue:

“I am so excited to be back in Darwin to perform to my wonderful fans again!

“It’ll be such a wonderful time at BASSINTHEGRASS and I’m busting to get out on stage and play some new music.”
