If bass music had a fantasy realm, this would be it. Forbidden Kingdom is officially returning to Orlando April 25–26, 2026, bringing two full days of heavy drops, immersive stages, and nonstop energy to the Central Florida Fairgrounds.

Known as one of the most unique festivals in the bass scene, Forbidden Kingdom leans fully into its medieval theme—think dragons, castles, and a full “warriors of bass” universe that transforms the entire venue into an experience, not just a show. With four stages and over 100 artists, it’s built for headbangers who want to go all in.

And the lineup? Absolutely stacked. This year brings some of the biggest names in bass including Subtronics, Zeds Dead, ATLiens, Virtual Riot, and Deathpact, alongside fan-favorite acts like Boogie T, Kompany, and Hedex. You’ll also see insane back-to-back sets like Liquid Stranger b2b Mersiv and Getter b2b Space Laces—sets that alone are worth the trip.

What makes Forbidden Kingdom stand out even more is how deep the lineup goes. From rising underground talent to experimental bass artists, you’ll discover new favorites all weekend long. Plus, unique moments like Ivy Lab’s sunset drum & bass set and massive collaborative performances like The Masquerade keep things feeling fresh and unpredictable.

Beyond the music, the festival experience is next-level. Attendees can explore interactive elements like collectible trading cards scattered throughout the grounds, adding a fun, gamified layer to the weekend. Pair that with themed stages, immersive visuals, and a crowd that fully commits to the energy, and you’ve got one of the most electric atmospheres in the scene.

Whether you’re a longtime basshead or just stepping into the world of dubstep and drum & bass, Forbidden Kingdom is where music, fantasy, and community collide. Consider this your official invite to enter the realm ⚔️

See you in the KINGDOM!

XOXO,

The Festival Babes
