Relive the sounds of Bassline Symphony
We're still buzzing from the energy that was Bassline Symphony at St George's Hall. Take a listen back to some of our favourite tunes from the night.
Published: July 1, 2025
In May 2025, bassline's crackling rhythms and pulsing low end was supercharged by Opera North’s magnificent orchestra - under the baton of Garry Walker, Opera North’s Music Director.
Bassline is among the most thrilling musical subcultures of the 21st century. Bradford is a hotbed of this electrifying music, but it has never sounded quite like this!
In the stunning Victorian splendour of St George’s Hall, bassline was performed with a live orchestra for the very first time. The crowd danced and sang the night away with bassline legends Jamie Duggan, DJ Q, TS7 and some special guests.
Take a listen back to some of our favourite moments from the night and hear more about the history of bassline in Bradford with our series, BFD Bassline, featuring some bassline legends. We’re all about the bassline!
