Basscon Wasteland returns to NOS Events Center, San Bernardino, CA, Sep 3 to 4, 2027. Froligo tracks current ticket prices, attendee feedback and travel details.
The experience
What's special
Wasteland is a hard dance festival that takes over the NOS Event Center in San Bernardino, transforming it into a two-day arena built for high-BPM music at 150 and above, curated from across the global hard dance scene.
How it works
Wasteland runs two days, September 3 and 4, 2027, at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, with a two-day pass in general admission, GA+ (expedited entry and premium restrooms) and VIP, plus a separate afterparty pass. An afterparty ticket needs a same-day festival ticket, and you stay inside the venue to attend. Once you are in there is no re-entry, and new arrivals are admitted until an hour before the end of the night.
Who it suits
It suits adults 18 and over who love hard dance, with sets at 150 BPM and above. It is a poor fit for anyone who wants a mix of electronic genres, since the lineup is curated from the hard dance scene alone.
What people love
Attendees repeatedly single out the crowd, describing the hard dance community as among the friendliest in electronic music, and note that production has improved year over year. The main knocks are heat inside the indoor warehouse stage and thin VIP amenities.
Last time around (2025)
The most recent edition ran across two stages at the NOS Event Center, with attendees praising the vibe and improved production while noting the indoor stage ran hot and VIP offered little extra value.

Getting there
How do I get to Basscon Wasteland?
Wasteland takes over the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, and the travel page covers three ways in: paid parking in the Pink Lot beside the entrance, rideshare and taxi, and flights into the nearby airports. Rideshare pickup and drop-off is at a separate lot known as Big Lots, with no on-site pickup or drop-off, so leave time for the walk at both ends. Check out each of the options below.
Nearest airport ONT.
By car
The nearest major airport is ONT, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
Amtrak's Southwest Chief (Los Angeles-Chicago) stops daily in each direction at San Bernardino Santa Fe Depot (station code SNB, 1170 W 3rd St), roughly 2.5 miles from NOS Events Center, useful for attendees arriving by long-distance rail rather than from ONT. The Depot is also a Metrolink station with Omnitrans connections onward to the venue.
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
Intercity coaches serve San Bernardino directly: Greyhound stops at San Bernardino Santa Fe Depot (1170 W 3rd St, since Feb 2023) and at the Downtown Transit Center. FlixBus stops at the San Bernardino Downtown Transit Center (Rialto Ave side) and the Depot, with connections from Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Anaheim, San Diego, Riverside, Victorville and Barstow. Both stops are about 2-2.5 miles from NOS Events Center, finish with Omnitrans sbX/Route 2 or a short rideshare hop.
Book / infoFrom ONT, the ONT Connect bus runs non-stop between the airport terminals and Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink Station every 35-60 minutes, seven days a week; the shuttle leg is included free with a Metrolink ticket bought to/from 'Ontario Airport' in the Metrolink app or at ticket machines. Ride the Metrolink San Bernardino Line east to San Bernardino-Downtown (Transit Center), then Omnitrans sbX Green Line BRT or Route 2 south along the E Street corridor, Omnitrans runs direct service to the NOS/National Orange Show fairgrounds, a short walk from the sbX Inland Center-area stop. Caution: the festival runs 6PM-2AM and last Metrolink trains depart well before close, so transit works for arrival but not for the ride back after the show.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Uber and Lyft both operate at ONT with designated airport pickup zones; the run to NOS Events Center is about 23 miles / 25-35 minutes via I-10. Late-night surge after the 2AM close is likely, this is the realistic ride home given transit stops running earlier. Shared-ride van operators (e.g. Prime Time Shuttle) also sell pre-booked ONT-to-San Bernardino transfers as a commercial (non-festival) alternative.
Book / infoTaxis 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
On site parking available. Cost Premier Parking $45.00/day ($40.00 + $5.00 fees), opens 4PM. Premier Parking Plus $75.00/day ($70.00 + $5.00 fees), 'conveniently located closer to the venue than premier parking'; all other lots open at 5PM. Prepay via Front Gate Tickets. Official travel page sells Premier and Premier Plus tiers via Front Gate Tickets; the hours page confirms premier lots open 4PM and general lots 5PM, with no re-entry per day. No official rideshare-only zone or overflow-lot policy is published for this event as of 15 Aug 2026.

Check ratesAirbnb & private camping
San Bernardino and neighboring Redlands/Colton/Loma Linda carry a modest year-round Airbnb inventory; for a two-night, 18+ EDM crowd of this size expect availability to hold but nightly rates to firm up over the Sep 4-5 weekend, book ahead rather than counting on last-minute listings.
Search AirbnbThe festival itself has no camping, but Hipcamp lists private-land campsites and glamping in the San Bernardino area and nearby foothills/mountains, a workable budget alternative to Hospitality Lane hotels for attendees with a car, given the venue's fairgrounds setting and drive-in logistics.
