Insomniac's Basscon brand goes all-in on the harder styles of dance music. Two days of hardstyle, hardcore, and hard techno at the NOS Events Center over Labor Day weekend.
Wasteland is a two-day, 18+ indoor event at the NOS Events Center over Labor Day weekend — no camping, no tents, just the harder styles under a roof. Here's the short version.
LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER
Hardstyle sets are loud, fast and relentless — pace yourself, drink water, and keep an eye on the people you came with. If you want to be ready for a bad night that isn't yours, read our guide to rave harm-reduction organizations.
Dates & Entry
Saturday and Sunday, September 4–5, 2026 — Labor Day weekend.
Strictly 18+ — bring a government-issued photo ID or you won't get in.
Venue
NOS Events Center, San Bernardino, CA — the same Inland Empire grounds Insomniac uses for Escape and Beyond Wonderland.
This one is indoors, and there is no camping. Sort out a hotel or a ride home before the weekend.
The Sound
Hardstyle, hard dance, hardcore and hard techno end to end — this is Insomniac's Basscon brand, not a general EDM bill.
Bring earplugs. Two days of kicks at that tempo is a lot for your ears.
This is a summary — always check the official Basscon Wasteland site for full, current details on tickets, hours, and what you can bring.
