Bassnectar NYE 2015 with The Glitch Mob, Paper Diamond, & Psymbionic [12.31.15]
From Bassnectar.net
“We are raging into 2016 at full throttle with our biggest Bassnectar New Years Eve Gathering ever. JOIN US!
After last year’s entire event sold out in the blink of an eye, we began searching for a new room which could fit as many beautiful bass heads as possible.
While it may seem like the road less travelled, we have found the perfect temple for our ceremony: we are proud to bring the NYE360 experience to Birmingham, Alabama! We scoured the country high and low for the best home we could find, and in the BJCC Legacy Arena we have a room that is both more intimate and nearly twice the capacity of Nashville. RESULT!
In keeping with the tradition of good old-fashioned Southern Hospitality, Birmingham is welcoming all bass heads with open arms, and we are proud to have found such a perfect new home for the NYE360 Spaceship. The stands are all free-roaming GA and there is not a bad seat in the house. You will feel closer to me. I will feel closer to you. I will be able to see the color of your eyes from the back of the bleachers and the entire room will be one massive spinning circular launchpad!!!
Joining us in the cockpit to help us smash the light-barrier and break on through to the other side, our super special guests:
• The Glitch Mob
• Paper Diamond
• Psymbionic
This is an 18+ Age Limit event.
We want to welcome as many of you as possible to be a part of this – and avoid disappointed bass heads who cannot get tickets. Like previous years, and Red Rocks & Halloween, we know tickets will go fast. Make sure to clear your schedule, set your alarms, and be fearless and unrelenting in your page refreshing! TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!”
