An major Top End music festival is set to give the Territory’s economy a huge boost.
Tourism Minister Nicole Manison said BASSINTHEGRASS was a must-do and offered interstate visitors the chance to experience the Territory’s unique tourism ventures.
“BASSINTHEGRASS has become a rite of passage for music fans across Australia, with this iconic festival selling out multiple years in a row,” she said.
Ms Manison said the festival was a unique NT experience for people of all ages.
“To avoid missing out on the Territory’s biggest and longest running music festival, I would highly encourage locals and visitors alike to get in quick before this event sells out again,” she said.

The festival also sold out in 2021 and 2019.
BASSINTHEGRASS has cemented its position on the national music festival calendar, and is renowned for its beachside locale, incredible line-ups, and sunny weather.
The highly-anticipated performances for 2023 include Amy Shark, Angus and Julia Stone, Babe Rainbow, Baker Boy, Guy Sebastian, Hooligan Hefs, Jack Botts, L D R U, MAY-A, Ocean Alley, Peach PRC, The Presets, San Cisco, Spacey Jane, Steph Strings, and Tones and I.
