BASSINTHEGRASS 2010

The Hon. Paul Henderson MLA, Chief Minister, Northern Territory, AustraliaNo sooner had we said Hello Hello to the Cat Empire, I Love It to Sneaky Sound System and realised that there was plenty Sweet About Gabriella Cilmi, than the lights had gone up and the crowds had begun to make their way home after our seventh exceptional year of BASSINTHEGRASS music festival.

The Territory’s biggest music extravaganza goes from strength to strength each year and the unwavering support of the youth of Darwin has meant that the event has sold out for the last three years in a row.  2010 will be no exception and the NT Government will continue to book acts at the top of the music scene in Australia, supported by some of our best home-grown talent. 

Keep an eye out in the local media, on this site, or sign up for email updates, where we’ll keep you informed of BASSINTHEGRASS 2010’s hottest acts as they’re booked.

I hope to see you on the 22nd May at the Amphitheatre for the highlight of the Darwin Dry Season!


The Hon. Paul Henderson MLA
Chief Minister, Northern Territory, Australia
