Southern California’s Biggest
Hard Dance Festival

Born from the pulse of Basscon—the epicenter of North America’s hard dance movement—Wasteland stands as the ultimate stronghold for the hardest sounds in SoCal. Since 2013, Basscon has championed every energy level of high-octane dance music, from euphoric hardstyle and hard house to rawstyle, hardcore, and uptempo. Wasteland is where that legacy explodes into a full-scale apocalyptic arena.

Here, pounding kickdrums echo through the dust as warriors of the harder styles gather from every corner of the globe. Sourcing the pinnacle of artists worldwide, Wasteland delivers heavy-hitting sets that push bodies and minds to their limits. More than a festival, it’s a survival rite for those who live and breathe hard dance in its purest, most unrestrained form.
