Forbidden Kingdom returns to the Central Florida Fairgrounds on April 25-26 with performances from ATLiens, Hedex, Subtronics, YDG, Kompany, and more.
Prepare yourself for a weekend of neck-breaking, bone-crushing bass! Forbidden Kingdom is bringing its headbanger-approved, medieval festival back to Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando for another year of unbelievable sets and enchanting moments. Moving its dates forward to April 25-26, the new weekend will help festival-goers beat the Florida heat before it intensifies in May.
Coming off of EDC Orlando, where Forbidden Kingdom teased fans by revealing a few artists for 2026, the Insomniac-run festival has unleashed its stacked phase one lineup. Drum and bass artists Andromedik, Hedex, and REAPER are set to bring their heavy basslines to the festival, while Lil Texas cranks up the intensity with his high-tempo, hardcore stylings.
As b2b culture continues to reign supreme, Forbidden Kingdom is serving up some insane collaborations such as Automhate b2b Mad Dubz, Bommer b2b YUNIT., Getter b2b Space Laces, HE$H b2b Codd Dubz, and Jon Casey b2b Viperactive. Two of the biggest standouts on the lineup are Ivy Lab‘s special drum and bass sunset performance and an epic set from The Masquerade, featuring 7L, Chango, Inaktiv, Mongrel, Sanzu, slyckz, VICIOUS, and VKTM.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bringing in some of the biggest names in bass music, Forbidden Kingdom has stacked the lineup with some of the most sought-after acts around, including ATLiens, Deathpact, Boogie T, Kompany, Subtronics, Virtual Riot, and YDG. There’s truly something for everyone — and this is only phase one!
Forbidden Kingdom returns April 2026. Passes are now available starting at $10 down through Friday, November 14. To secure your spot for a mystical journey through the hottest sounds of bass, visit Front Gate.
