BassLights began as a two-night festival at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA, in 2012, headlined by Pretty Lights and Bassnectar. The event featured notable opening acts such as Big Gigantic, GRiZ, A-Trak, and Gramatik, establishing BassLights as a memorable fixture in the electronic music calendar. The concept expanded beyond Virginia with a Bayfront Park edition in Miami in 2013, signaling growth and a broader fanbase. Hampton Coliseum hosted subsequent editions through 2014, with 2014 selling out and the most recent edition noted in 2015. As of early 2026, there are no announced BassLights dates for 2025 or beyond, and the festival is generally regarded as defunct. While BassLights’ official social accounts are not active, historical pages and press coverage document the festival’s impact on the electronic music scene.
