Australia Is Getting A Travelling Trap & Bass Festival This Easter

Touch Bass will hold four events over three days this April

Get ready to feel the music in your bones when the inaugural Touch Bass festival — a new event focusing on "all things low-end and trap-heavy" — rolls around the country this April.

Spanning four events over three days across the Easter long weekend, Touch Bass features stops in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney.

Its first-ever line-up comprises a handful of in-demand international heavy-hitters including LA-based prodigy Jauz, Montreal "vomitstep" pioneer Snails, New Jersey upstart Slushii as well as local legend L D R U.

All four acts have garnered global acclaim in relatively short periods, each eking out a distinct place for themselves in the packed-to-bursting electronic culture to rise above the field and earn renown and recognition from critics and audiences all around the world.

They won't be the only artists stepping out to keep the good times rolling at Touch Bass's maiden events: local support acts vary between cities, and this year will comprise Senor Roar and Dancespace in Adelaide, Luude in Perth and Melbourne, and Zeke Beats, Jordan Burns and Noy in Brisbane.

Tickets for all four events will go on sale this coming Monday, 23 January.
