Relentless Beats continues its expansion into heavy electronic territory with the announcement of System Overload, a brand-new bass-focused festival set to debut at Rawhide Event Center on February 27–28, 2026. Built for fans who crave high-impact sound design and unapologetic low-end, the two-day event positions itself as a new destination for dubstep, riddim, and experimental bass culture.
With this new festival, Relentless Beats and its Aftershock sub-brand are tapping into a scene that thrives on intensity, community, and massive production. The festival’s inaugural edition is already shaping up to be one of the most aggressive bass events of the year. Tickets can be found here.
A Lineup Designed for Maximum Impact
Headlining the debut weekend are SLANDER, Wooli, Liquid Stranger, NGHTMRE, Eptic, and HOL!, a lineup that spans melodic bass, tearout, riddim, and left-field experimentation. Each headliner brings a distinct energy, creating a weekend that never settles into one sound or tempo.
SLANDER’s emotional-meets-heavy approach anchors the top of the bill, while Wooli’s briddim-driven sets and Eptic’s chaotic bass precision ensure the pits stay active. Liquid Stranger adds a layer of psychedelic bass depth, NGHTMRE bridges festival-scale energy with underground grit, and HOL! delivers raw, high-pressure drops built for true bass heads.
Depth Beyond the Headliners
The lineup’s strength goes beyond its top-tier names. The undercard is stacked with artists known for pushing bass music into darker and heavier territory, including Samplifire, Badklaat, Bommer, Codd Dubz, Akeos, Canabliss, Stoned to Death, Sisto b2b 7L, MADVKTM (Mad Dubz b2b VKTM), Blvnkspvce b2b Sqishi, and more.
This depth gives the festival a club-meets-festival feel, where early sets carry just as much weight as peak-time performances. It’s a lineup built for fans who want variety without losing cohesion.
Production, Experience, and the Bass Crowd
System Overload is an 18+ event, leaning fully into high-energy production designed for experienced crowds. Rawhide Event Center offers ample space for large-scale staging while keeping the environment grounded and accessible for fans traveling in or making it a local weekend run.
VIP options include premium viewing areas, express entry, and dedicated restrooms — small details that matter when you’re spending long hours in front of massive speaker stacks. Travel packages are also available, making System Overload an easy commitment for out-of-state bass fans.
Rather than feeling like another add-on to the festival calendar, System Overload arrives with a clear identity. It’s not chasing trends — it’s embracing the heavier side of electronic music at a time when bass culture continues to thrive both underground and on major stages.
With a focused lineup, intentional curation, and the backing of experienced promoters, System Overload has the potential to become a recurring staple for bass fans looking for something louder, darker, and more immersive.
