Darwin's BASSINTHEGRASS music festival announces ticket sale and major international act, Macklemore (18 May 2024)

Tickets are on sale now to the Northern Territory’s largest music festival, BASSINTHEGRASS, which has attracted a major international artist. American rapper and singer Macklemore has added a performance at the beachside festival to his limited tour of Australia and New Zealand next year.

BASSINTHEGRASS will take place at Darwin’s iconic Mindil Beach on Saturday, 18 May 2024, and Macklemore is the first artist to be announced for the line-up. The full line-up will be revealed later this month.

Macklemore is making limited stops across Australia and New Zealand, and BASSINTHEGRASS is the only music festival he will appear at. With worldwide hits including ‘Thrift Shop’, ‘Same Love’ and ‘Good Old Days’, the multi-award-winning artist counts four Grammy Awards among his wins.
As well as a stellar line-up, next year’s BASSINTHEGRASS will feature some exciting new offerings, including premium experiences featuring new locations, different stage views and luxury facilities.

Delivered by Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC), CEO Suzana Bishop said BASSINTHEGRASS was the perfect reason to head to the Top End for the trip of a lifetime.

“BASSINTHEGRASS 2024 is one of the few places in Australia where fans can catch Macklemore on stage, plus enjoy hours of other top music acts,” Mrs Bishop said.

Thousands of music lovers from all over Australia travelled to BASSINTHEGRASS this year. Grab your 2024 ticket now and make your own memories.”

New premium event experiences include The Terrace, offering an exclusive hosted experience for festival connoisseurs on a raised platform close to the side of stage; Oasis, with great views from a prime location side-of-stage; and ReFresh, providing busy music lovers with a place to take a breather and beat the queues.
