# Zero-Gravity Music Festivals Desperados Bass Drop Took Place 30,000 Feet Over Las Vegas By Joey Haar | Published 2016-11-21 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desperados-bass-drop References: [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkPtets0ko0&feature=youtu.be) The [Desperados](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-flavored-beer) Bass Drop experiment is a [micro-music festival](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-season) that brought EDM's celebrated bass drop to new heights -- literally. The experiment was the first-ever music festival to be held in zero-gravity, having took place in a plane 30,000 feet above Las Vegas. To create the festival, Desperados first turned the cabin of an airplane into a bright, shimmering, and pulsating club environment (i.e. the perfect locale for an EDM party.) They then took a lucky crowd of partiers into the sky, flying in giant parabolas; on the descent of those arcs, the entire cabin became a zero gravity dance party. The music for Desperados Bass Drop festival came from DJ Mike Cervello, an artist on the uber-experimental 'The Barong Family' record label. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Zero-gravity Music Festivals:** Zero-gravity music festivals offer a unique and immersive experience that combines music and adventure, providing an exciting opportunity for event organizers and artists to create unforgettable experiences. - **Innovative Event Experiences:** Creating unconventional event experiences like the Desperados Bass Drop festival opens up new possibilities for event organizers to engage audiences and elevate the entertainment industry. - **Exploration of Non-traditional Venues:** Hosting music festivals in non-traditional venues such as airplanes or other unique locations allows for innovative event concepts, attracting attendees seeking novel experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Music and Entertainment:** The music and entertainment industry can leverage the concept of zero-gravity music festivals to revolutionize live events, generating new revenue streams and captivating audiences. - **Aerospace and Aviation:** The aerospace and aviation industry has an opportunity to collaborate with event organizers to create tailor-made zero-gravity environments, providing exclusive experiences for music festivals and beyond. - **Hospitality and Travel:** The hospitality and travel industry can explore partnerships with event organizers to offer unique package deals that combine zero-gravity music festivals with travel experiences, attracting adventure-seeking travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Musical Beer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desperados-beer.md) - [Cosmic Beverage Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celsius-energy.md) - [Hybrid Metaverse Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolutland.md) - [Phone-Free Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phonefree-festival.md) - [Exclusive Energy Drink Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bull-mirage.md) - [3-Day Toronto Music Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-festival-decadence.md) - [Sustainable Public Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-9-festival.md) - [Phone-Free Music Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/over-yondr.md) - [Festival-Focused Airline Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-season.md)
