If you’re looking for a festival that doesn’t just play music but surrounds you in it, Basscon is your haven. Produced by Insomniac Events (the creators of EDC), Basscon is a sub-brand and event series dedicated to the harder styles of electronic music—think hardstyle, hardcore, and hard trance.
From the Underground to the Main Stage
Basscon began as a niche project to serve a specific but passionate slice of the EDM world. Since its launch in the early 2010s, it has grown into a major force in the U.S. rave and festival ecosystem, throwing events in Southern California and hosting takeovers at mega-events like EDC Las Vegas.
Who It Serves
The Basscon crowd is united by intensity. Unlike mainstream festivals that cater to casual partiers, Basscon fans live and breathe the hard dance lifestyle. Their community is tight-knit, international, and deeply devoted to the genre’s high BPMs, complex kicks, and euphoric melodies. Expect to see fans in neon and platform boots, moving in sync with 150+ BPM bass drops.
Why It’s Special
Basscon isn’t trying to be everything to everyone—and that’s its greatest strength. It serves a genre that, while often overlooked in the U.S., commands massive respect in the global EDM scene. By giving hard dance fans a polished, high-production home to call their own, Basscon keeps the underground spirit alive with the energy of a stadium show.
