Ray Volpe Headlines Seattle Tonight
Bass music rising star Ray Volpe headlines tonight's Bassrush event at Seattle's WaMu Theater from 10 PM to 3 AM for the 18+ crowd. Volpe's sets are known for dynamic blends of melodic drops and floor-shaking bass, making this an ideal kickoff for March's festival season.
Tonight's show is a stop on Volpe's extensive "Forever, Volpetron Tour," in support of his debut album of the same name. The tour follows a massive 2025 for the producer, which included the sold-out "VOLPEVERSE" audio/visual headline tour and the release of viral hits like "SONG REQUEST." Ray Volpe's ascent in the electronic music world was supercharged by his 2022 track "Laserbeam," which became the most-played dubstep track of the year. This success led to collaborations with major artists like Marshmello and support from scene leaders such as Excision and Illenium. His work has earned him accolades like the "Best New Artist of 2023" at the Electronic Dance Music Awards. The event's promoter, Bassrush, has been a significant force in bass music for over two decades. Originally focused on drum & bass, the Insomniac-owned brand evolved to encompass dubstep, trap, and other bass-heavy genres, now hosting stages at major festivals like EDC. The WaMu Theater is one of Seattle's largest indoor venues, with a flexible capacity that can accommodate up to 9,000 people for a standing-room-only event like this. Its large, open floor plan makes it a frequent host for major electronic acts that require space for significant production and large crowds.
