Bassgasm 3 set times announced

Headlining DJ Reid Speed from LA

​ The third installment of ESP Woody McBride's rave-in-a-club circus is upon us, set to rattle downtown Minneapolis for 9 hours straight this Friday with 60+ DJs of both local and national acclaim and stretching First Avenue to five stages instead of three.

Sponsored and partially hosted by City Pages, the event certainly requires a pocketed set list for even a casual fan of dance music, so print this sucker out and refer to it at will.

In other Bassgasm news: McBride said he is planning a timelapse video of the whole day from 8 a.m. load in to 4 a.m. load out, and we'll make sure to post that here. Also, an afterparty will be announced at closing time.

Want tickets? We're giving them away on our Facebook page this afternoon. 


Set times are as follows:

MainRoom: a serious wall of bass sound 32 dual 18" front loaded 5k watt sub boxes stacked 8 feet tall x 28 feet wide plus all the highs and mid boxes on top.
