Our Top 13 Bass Music Festivals to Attend in 2013

Posted by: Dee on March 15, 2013

With much debate amongst ourselves here at AYNiB and extensive and scientific polling of our friends and our readers, we here at AYNiB have come up with our top 13 festivals to attend this year. Some of these we’ve been lucky enough to attend before, some we’re checking out this year, and others are still on our dream list.

The order of this list was determined by number of votes from the people we asked. So here it is!

#13: Coachella

Location: Empire Polo Club, Indio, California, USA
Weekend One: April 12 – 14, 2013
Weekend Two: April 19 – 21, 2013
Tickets: SOLD OUT FOR BOTH WEEKENDS

Our Reason: While this festivals primary focus is not just bass music, it does feature just enough of our favorites to make this list plus enough acts outside of the bass music world we also enjoy. Coachella is a favorite on many of our friends lists that have attended before and truly sounds like quite the spectacle to be experienced by all festival lovers.

Check out our directory listing for the line-up and more info.
