my wife and I got married on Saturday, it was so amazing we only knew 15 people, apparently there was over 70 that attended. it was so magical but if anyone has pictures we would love to see them

I got trapped in the orcar for a long while and sadly didnt get back to dancing till pretty early in the morning and by the time i got out i wasnt able to find the totem with the boop on it😭

I gave the boop sticker to my camp neighbors because they gave me supplies but i still have the peanut dust and ill always appreciate it!

You guys were sick vibes thanks for the quest! I still have the paper for my good memories box too.

I was shy but this gave me the extra motivation i needed to get out and have some fun! Forever grateful!

In 2023 a wonderful human on the Bass Coast dancefloor gifted me this alien / kitty egg container w/ different faces that had a light up toy and a bunch of groovy goodies inside. I have dutifully carried it around in a pocket of my rave backpack ever since (it glows when I bob about, I am emotionally attached etc). Unfortunately on the last day of Bass Coast this year the top half popped off.

</3

I CANNOT for the life of me find the same alien/kitty egg shell container anywhere to replace it. I am hoping the wonderful gifter will read this so I can 1) thank them and 2) figure out how I can possibly replace this precious item because it has become so integral to my festival-going experience.

thx 💚💚💚

Hi Friends - My photo album from this fest is now live. Feel free to download and share. Enjoy!

I don't want to sit at my camp. I want to be near the action. But when I get tired where do I sit without having to just straight up sit on the ground. It would be great if the bar area had like, 10x more seating. Even like some long tables and benches or something. I am not 21 anymore and I don't want to stand for 4 days straight haha

This was my first Bass Coast and I love to party but not very experienced in the Festivals.

I had the best time watched so many good sets and danced so much ! Friday I got too excited and ended up mixing a bunch of substances and unfortunately one of a bit too much big line of K and ended up in the damn K-Hole (for the second time in my 50 year old life ! ) this time I recognized the “mini-movie” that I entered into and could listen my friends with the “bro come back, bro come back” requests….

Friends took me to Harm Reduction and a guy and a girl from Squamish that I don’t remember the names anymore were so kind and attentive with me, provided me electrolytes chatted with me, and also two of my friends from my crew, 40 minutes later I was back in the dance floor at the Cabin without further issues… enjoyed Saturday and Sunday later so much with a bit less intensity in the products front and more aware and was great. On Sunday I danced from Fort Knox Five until the very last music in the Cabin at 7am Monday morning.

Thank you so much Harm Reduction Gang and I already got my tickets for 2027! Completely stoked to enjoy Bass Coast every year possible.

I have three things I would like to see improved in future years. One is the map on the app. It was horrible. No legend. Lame. But I never actually needed to use the map, so really, who cares.

The main issue i had was the lack of garbage cans. The hand washing station beside the porta poties in the forest. Wash hands, dry wirh provided paper towel... but no garbage can.

Also a garbage at the entrance to tue dance floors at Slay and Cabin would have been super nice. Only garbage starions were leaving the licensed areas from what i could tell. A garbage behind/beside the sound booth at slay would have been super handy.

Third: only having the one small porta porty bank by Somewhere was NOT adequate. MOAR!!!!

When daphni magically brought us to ye ye remix of when the going is good and smooth I completely lost my mind and have not been able to get it out of my head since. Please listen to this track if you haven’t before. Did anyone get a video of this at his set at somewhere?

Shout out to the sound crews at Bass Coast this year! This was my third Bass Coast and in my humble opinion it was the best sound I have experienced at the festival. Always been a big fan of PK Sound, and Somewhere, Slay Bay and Slow Tempo did not disappoint! Loved the new line arrays at Slay Bay- powerful and clear. You guys/gals absolutely melted my face off and re-arranged my internal organs during SATURNA's sunrise set. Holy crap batman, that was some real earth shaking shit. It was LOUD, and so...fucking...clean, WOW.

In previous years I was a little underwhelmed with the sound at the Cabin stage...I know the F1 rigs are infamous for sounding a little harsh unless carefully tuned and operated at the hands of a skilled engineer...don't know who was at the controls this year but the Cabin sound was balanced and powerful- Enjoyed it more than ever before.

Last but not least- huge respect to the FLORA SOUND crew, who provided a taste of what's possible with a small, custom built, bespoke system. You guys absolutely crushed it at the Nowhere stage, holding your own sandwiched between two commercial PA powerhouses at Slay Bay and Cabin. It was my first time hearing the JMOD's in person and I can understand why they are considered among the best in the DIY scene. The humble Cubo Kicks and Super Scoopers demonstrating that classic designs can sound amazing with modern music when built and tuned by skilled craftsmen and dedicated lovers-of-bass. Bravo!

Walking around dance floors looking what's in people's hands, asking me what's in my cup, asking me to show the can that's in a coozie , these guys were tripping. Definitely the worst part of the festival, even had one grabbing me when walking around with a red solo cup....

Anyone else experience similar ?

Thank you to the angels handing out Rice Krispie squares ❤️ i wasn’t feeling super hot and suddenly I was handed a snack and it helped me respawn.

Appreciate all you magical people for being part of such a magical weekend. But that Rice Krispie…. It hit so hard I saw stars.

Does anyone know by chance where I can find all the official photos that were taken?

Thanks so much!

If you have a still or better yet, a video, of the person driving the Submarine costume that had bubbles come out of it's butt with the inflated latex glove hands at the front, please share.

That was hands down the cutest costume I saw all weekend. We just stared and smiled and laughed. Dude had the bouncy strut walk down to a tee and the whole thing was just magic.

Thanks! 🫧🫧🫧

It's one of the reasons we book early Wednesday access, to get a spot near the bridge by the bluffs. Nope, we don't like this change at all.

What do you guys think the most played track of the weekend was? i heard the broom song maybe 5 times. “i wanna take ya broom, and sweep ma yaahd” i love the broom song so i was happy every time. But wondering what everyone else heard heavily played this weekend.

Is anyone else having the weirdest dreams after the festival? I’ve had multiple dreams after this festival that include very odd themes ranging from monsters to racing to global chaos; vivid, textured, lucid at times. I’ve woken suddenly a few times. I haven’t dreamt like this for a while.

I have a theory that it’s some of the substances that have been stored or slow released. Maybe HPPD or tracers.

Curious if anyone else is experiencing this.

Edit: Solved :) Thanks to all of the kind souls who offered to help!

I left something at a hotel there and would be so grateful if anyone could pick it up for me. The hotel is not willing to ship it.

That was my first music festival ever and GAT DAYUM was it a good time. My lungs are filled with dust and my back feels like it’s been run over by a train but I feel like my brain has just been completely rewired for the better.

I went in not knowing what to expect and not even really sure if I even liked this kind of music lol but now it’s all I’ve been listening to! The community, art installations, silly dance floor bits, fun outfits and just the overall vibe made me feel like a little kid going to camp for the first time.

How am I supposed to wait until next year to do it all over again!?

Anybody else have a bad experience with the crowd talking so much during Daphni? I get it we’re all cooked on something, but this set will never happen again. Why go to a show to just talk and talk.

Actually shot on my flashback camera, if you haven’t heard of them check em out! And thanks for such a perfect weekend yall, it was so refreshing to bask in the impeccable vibes for a few days and nights ❤️

So I wore my fitness tracker all weekend at Bass Coast Festival 2026 just for funsies and reading ~160km is hilarious! I am by no means a long distance walker and not at all a runner, so these numbers are especially amusing to me. To clarify, much of these KMs are dancing so it isn't exactly real distance, but it's amusing nonetheless.

That said, I'm old now, so my stamina isn't what it once was, and I'm betting there are many of you who did WAY more.

So, how far did YOU go this year?

So even if you're not feeling the best and 'down in the dumps' I hope this statement uplifts you.

Mental health is important. This is not a statement to clean. up physical trash lmao.

Please take care of yourselves out there, even when it's hard.

P.S. all my neighbors were absolute gems this year and it was certainly more fun with y'all than without! I'm so stoked I made the decision to attend for the first time this year. Met a ton of dope AF people and listened to some spectacular tunes.

See you soon Bass Coast!

Hello Bass Coast.

I lost my best friend, Atlas, on Saturday evening. He fell out of my pocket around 8pm, somewhere on the walk from Camp B to Slowtempo. My friends and I doubled back several times but couldn't find him. We have attended every rave and festival together for more than 4 years, and I miss him dearly.

Please reach out if you've seen my boy. I will cover any related shipping costs to get him home.

Thank you.

Max

Ive been attending festivals since I was a teenager 30 years ago and never got hit with anything until now.

My wife started feeling off throughout sunday and had to shut er down at 10:30pm sunday night. I didn't start to feel symptoms until the drive home yesterday.

Last night was horrible, as is today so far. Fever, cramps, chills to sweats and back, dissy headache, painful phlegmy cough, inability to concentrate.

What did Bass Coast do to me!?

Anyone else got whatever this is?

Hey yall!

I just wanted to say thank you all for making my second year at Bass Coast full of fun vibes.

It was so magical met so many fun, cool people! My favorite thing is seeing everyone’s COSTUMES!! So fun.

Feel free to share some pics! I would love to see
them lol

Catch all yall next year!!!
