Bass Canyon returns to The Gorge Amphitheatre, George, WA, Aug 13 to 15, 2027. Froligo tracks current ticket prices, camping, attendee feedback and travel details.

The experience

What's special

Three days of non-stop bass and dubstep music with on-site camping at the scenic Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington, curated by Excision, with large-scale stage production and a desert-canyon backdrop.

How it works

Bass Canyon runs Friday to Sunday, August 13 to 15, 2027, at the Gorge Amphitheatre, with an optional Thursday pre-party and camping centered on The Pivot, a hub of yoga, games and a late-night silent disco. In 2026 the amphitheatre gates opened at 2 pm Friday to Sunday and the campgrounds opened at 1 pm on the Wednesday before. General admission and VIP are both offered, with camping sold as a separate pass in standard, premier, RV, terrace and glamping tiers, and official shuttles from Seattle go on sale with the 2027 PNW Pass.

Who it suits

It suits bass-music fans who want three days of heavy bass and dubstep, a camping weekend and a scenic canyon venue. Every attendee must be 18 or older, so there is no family program. The lineup leans heavily on one sound, and the desert wind, the ban on folding chairs in the venue and a mostly cashless site reward people who like to be prepared.

What people love

Attendees rave about the tight-knit, friendly community and the beautiful Gorge setting, and repeatedly describe feeling safe and comfortable across the weekend, with kind and helpful staff.

Last time around (2026)

The 2026 edition ran August 14, 16 at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington: three days of bass music and camping headlined by Excision.

Getting there

How do I get to Bass Canyon?

Most people drive to the Gorge Amphitheatre in central Washington, about three hours from both Seattle and Spokane, taking Interstate 90 to the Gorge exit and following the signs. County rules ban parking or camping on the roads leading to the venue, and overnight parking is only for camping pass holders. Official Bass Canyon shuttles run from SeaTac Airport and Lumen Field in Seattle, and a rental car covers the rest for anyone flying in. The options below cover each way in.

By car

Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.

By train

No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.

By bus & public transit

No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.

Taxi & rideshare

Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.

🅿 Parking

Cost Free for day parking; overnight parking is bundled into the price of a camping pass (see camping_deep_dive.vehicle_sites), not sold separately. Quoted directly from the festival's own FAQ: 'Every vehicle that parks overnight must have a CAMPING pass. There is no auxiliary parking for overnight vehicles.' Day parking is complimentary but must be cleared immediately after the Amphitheatre closes each night, or the vehicle is towed, this is a day-only lot, not an overnight option, per the official FAQ.

Camping & Accommodation

Where do most people stay?

Camping is the main way to stay: the campgrounds sit beside the amphitheatre and the passes cover the whole weekend, with tiers from standard tent camping up to premier, RV, terrace and glamping areas. Light sleepers are better off paying for a step up from general camping. Anyone who skips camping faces a long drive in and out each day, since overnight parking is only for campers. The options below show where to stay.

What to bring

Three days of heavy bass at a desert-canyon amphitheatre in central Washington in August, with most people camping on site.

Hot days, cold nights, strong windDays at the Gorge are hot and dry and nights turn cold, with strong wind across camp. Bring layers, sun protection and rain gear, because the festival goes ahead rain or shine, and stake your tent down well.
Arrive off-peakSecurity searches every vehicle and person at camp check-in, and everyone leaves the car during the search, so lines build at busy times. For 2026 the suggested windows were Wednesday from 1 pm, Thursday before 1 pm or after 9 pm, and Friday before 1 pm.
Arrive together to camp togetherCampsites are assigned as vehicles arrive and cannot be held, so a group that wants to camp side by side must arrive at the same time. Terrace camping places spaces by vehicle type, so tents and big RVs may not end up together.
Quiet hours and camp rulesQuiet hours run from 2 am to 8 am, and outside sound systems and DJ setups are not allowed. Alcohol is for your own campsite only, never in public areas or on the roads, and never in glass.
Full rule

Generators are allowed at your campsite but may not run during quiet hours. Drones are banned anywhere on the Gorge property.

Stock up before you parkThere are no vehicle in-and-outs at the campground, so bring what you need. The camp General Store near the main entrance sells ice, sunscreen, basic toiletries, drinks and snacks.
Clear bags and empty bottlesBags into the amphitheatre must be clear and no larger than 12 x 12 x 6 inches. Hydration packs and small clutches or fanny packs under 6 x 9 inches are fine, and empty reusable bottles can be filled at free water stations.
Full rule

Tinted and iridescent bags do not count as clear. One factory-sealed bottle of water is allowed in, and one gallon-size bag of factory-sealed snacks.

Leave the chairs and camerasFolding and camping chairs, hammocks, large umbrellas (parasols are fine), GoPros, professional cameras, binoculars and glass are banned inside the amphitheatre. A small non-professional still camera is allowed.
Totems and flagsTotems may be up to 7 feet including the pole, with heads up to 2 feet measured diagonally, and flags up to 4 feet. Poles must be light, such as PVC, and security can turn away anything it judges unsafe.
Full rule

Poles must be under 1 inch in diameter, not wood, metal or extendable, with no extra poles and no inflatables. Totem heads need artwork on all sides.

A cashless site, and a locker that chargesIn 2026 the event was mostly cashless, with cash-to-card kiosks near the ATMs inside the amphitheatre. Charging lockers can be reserved ahead and sell out, and the mobile app carries the lineup, set times and maps, so a charged phone matters.

Accessibility & comfort

The organizer does not publish accessibility details. Ask them directly before you travel about step-free access, accessible toilets, seating and anything else you need.
