\n\tMore than 20 international and Australian artists performed across the night, with US rapper Denzel Curry, Swedish electronic duo Galantis, the UK\u2019s Venjent and Morty, US act AYYBO and South Korea\u2019s Oktae joining Australian acts Peking Duk, The Teskey Brothers, The Living End, Ball Park Music and Mallrat for the all-ages event. Tourism and Events NT reported that one in five attendees were visitors to the Territory.<\/p>\n
\n\tGalantis DJ Christian Karlsson was effusive about the experience. \u201cIt\u2019s an absolutely mind-blowing experience,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know anything, but I knew that Australia always, always deliver. I couldn\u2019t even imagine how mind-blowing this would be. Hey, come to Darwin \u2014 Darwin is the number one spot.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tPlaylunch lead singer Liam Bell was equally enthusiastic about the festival\u2019s unique atmosphere. \u201cIt\u2019s been amazing to be on the lineup with all these other amazing acts,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not even sure we have stuff like this as good in Victoria. We\u2019ve had some laksa, and it\u2019s changed our lives \u2014 but also, obviously the people are amazing, the vibes are amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tTourism and Events NT CEO Suzana Bishop said the festival\u2019s appeal went beyond the music. \u201cBrilliant performances are just part of what makes BASSINTHEGRASS so memorable,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s the combination of world-class live music, Darwin\u2019s natural beauty, warm dry season weather, location on Mindil Beach, incredible food and Top End experiences that makes it unlike any other.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe festival capped off a massive weekend for Darwin, which also saw just over 11,900 locals and visitors attend the AFL clash between the Gold Coast Suns and Port Adelaide at TIO Stadium. Darwin hotel occupancy across the event weekend reached 70%, around 10 points higher than the previous year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
