Basscon Wasteland 2023 Set Times and Essential Info

Get ready for two epic nights of energetic hard dance at Basscon Wasteland with all of the essential info, including the set times and more.

The upcoming edition of Basscon Wasteland is right around the corner for another epic edition that calls for two nights of drifting screeches, golden melodies, and distorted kick drums – a recipe for pure chaos. Fans of hard dance music are in for a treat as legends such as DJ The Prophet, DJ Anime, TNT, Coone, Da Tweekaz, and more are set to take the stage alongside the leaders of the homegrown American Hard Dance scene like KAMI, Lady Faith, Water Spirit, TYEGUYS, GRAVEDGR, and many more dotting the lineup.

While making sure you have your festival passes and other essentials ready before heading to the NOS Event Center, it’s also important to prepare for the festival ahead of time. February in SoCal will call for mostly sunny days, and while one stage is indoors, there’s a chance the second stage could be outside, so come prepared for a slight chance of rain on both days. Be sure to pack a jacket and a beanie for the chilling weather coming out of the festival and stay up to date on the weather so you can dress accordingly.

With 30 performances from high-energy artists set to play at the event, it’s very important to remember to hydrate and pace yourself if you or anyone in your group chooses to partake in any drinking. Remember that the medics are there for your safety, so never hesitate to ask for some help if you need it. Hard dance music is also known for its distorted, heavy kicks, so don’t forget to wear a pair of quality earplugs!
