Kah-Lo fans won’t need a fake ID to catch her all-ages headline act at BASSINTHECITY.

The Nigerian singer-songwriter and DJ has been announced as the top act for the free pop-up street festival in Darwin taking place on Wednesday May 15th, just days before BASSINTHEGRASS on May 17th.

Kah-Lo said she was “excited to be performing at BASSINTHECITY a few days before hitting the seaside stage at BASSINTHEGRASS in Australia’s Top End.”

She will join Aussie heavyweights Hilltop Hoods, Meg Mac, LUUDE, The Amity Affliction, The Jungle Giants, CYRIL, and 3% at this year’s edition of BASSINTHEGRASS.

“We haven’t been to Darwin for three years and our whole team are excited and looking forward to performing at BASSINTHEGRASS with such a great lineup,” reads a statement from Hilltop Hoods’ Debris. “The festival is one of our favourite places to play.”

The festival is also collaborating with the Territory Artist Competition to offer one DJ and one live act to perform at BASSINTHECITY before opening BASSINTHEGRASS’ Palm Stage and BASSment Stage.

New to the festival this year will be BASS Camp, a retreat designed for families including kid’s activities and spaces where youngsters can enjoy their own silent disco, face painting, a glitter station, and more.

Premium packages include ReFresh, a retreat from the push and shove from the masses, and Oasis, which rolls-together express entry, drink and food vouchers, shaded side-of-stage views, and access to a dedicated bar.

BASSINTHEGRASS is bucking the trend for music festivals in these parts, many of which are ducking out of 2025 due to steepling talent costs, late ticket buying, and other issues.
