About Northern Bass
FuZen Entertainment is proud to announce Northern Bass 2012/13, the premium, bass heavy New Year's event that features the best international and local's acts, swimming on-site, good food, multiple bars, camping and great vibes.
If you love bass and want to hear the best global bass music in a beautiful spacious outdoor setting surrounded by like minded people then Northern Bass is for you!
After the success of the inaugural Northern Bass at Haruru Falls, that saw thousands in attendance, we were flooded with demands to do it again. Again, only the best in their respective genres will be chosen to perform at Northern Bass, quality acts that lead and who are always known to deliver great performances. Northern Bass's point of difference to the other events on offer for New Years is that; through the selection of quality acts, lovers of quality bass and fine beats have a place and event to suit their needs.
We've listened to many people about what improvements they'd like to see at the second Northern Bass and as a result camping and other services will be improved to ensure that your time at Northern Bass will be a memorable one. The new site for this year's event is nestled amongst the picturesque hills of the Northland countryside. The large size of the Northern Bass site will allow a level of comfort and space not normally found at New Years Eve events. Beautiful sloping hills, fresh water swimming, ample camping space, a range of refreshments and facilities, loads of bass, and an incredible array of the world’s finest DJ's and Acts in the realms of drum and bass, dubstep and hip- hop. Northern Bass is where you want to be this New Years Eve!

Is there an age restriction?
Yes, Northern Bass is an R18 event. Valid form of identification required for entry. (NZ drivers license, current passport, HANZ 18+ card)
Is there going to be eftpos on-site at Northern Bass?
Northern Bass will be using an RFID wristband system for all transactions on-site. RFID wristbands electronically store your balance and deduct funds as you make purchases. Online topups have now closed, but you'll be able to top up your wristband once you arrive onsite at any of the top-up kiosks. You will be able to refund any unspent credit before you leave the site as well as afterwards via the internet.
What should I bring?
Ticket for entry, camping pass if you intend to camp on-site, ID, sunscreen, eftpos or cash. Due to the fallibility of the mobile eftpos system we do advise you to bring cash. Breakfast and snack foods that do not require cooking, empty or sealed/unopened non-alcoholic drinking containers limited to two per person.
What shouldn't I bring?
Weapons, drugs, alcohol, glass, gang insignia, fireworks, cooking facilities, bad attitudes.
Everyone entering the festival will be subject to a full search. Event organisers will have discretion to disallow any items entering the venue.
Only people who have purchased camping passes will be allowed in the camping area.
Can I leave the venue once I am in?
There are no pass-outs from Northern Bass. Once you have entered the festival you cannot leave and re-enter on the same day. The only exception is for campers staying at the venue for two days who will be allowed to leave prior to 10am in order to visit the local area/beach etc.
Campervans however, will be unable to re-enter the venue if they leave.
