Bass Coast Announces First Wave of 2016 Lineup

Christmas has come nine months early with the first wave announcement of artists for Bass Coast 2016. Deep in the woods of Merritt, British Columbia, where it has been filling hearts, and pleasuring ears, Bass Coast returns for its 8th edition. 2016 is shaping up to be no different and if we can guess anything from this tease of their lineup, you’ll certainly want to get tickets before they’re gone. If you need more convincing we’ve put together a list of 6 other reasons why Bass Coast is an absolute must.

The short, 17 artist list has already peaked our excitement for this wonderful festival. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the artists on this list, as we guarantee there will be some new ones for you to explore. Aside from the music we’ve spoken plenty of “Community” recently, and strongly feel its the life-blood of any successful festival. If there is one community you should look to join in 2016, it’s definitely in the Nicola Valley of Merritt British Columbia.
