Forbidden Kingdom has unveiled its final lineup, adding Mary Droppinz, SVDDEN DEATH, T-Pain (DJ Set), and Whethan ahead of its 2026 edition.
Headliners, grab your neck braces. Forbidden Kingdom is back for another year of bone-shattering bass music at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando. Hosted by Insomniac‘s Bassrush brand, the two-day event will take place on April 25-26, moving from May in favor of cooler weather.
The medieval-themed gathering will catapult festival-goers into a fantasy land scored by the sounds of the brightest names in bass music. This year’s lineup is stacked beyond belief, spanning the wide umbrella of the ever-growing genre. Following the end of Miami Music Week, Forbidden Kingdom unveiled the second (and final) phase of DJs performing at the 2026 edition.
Additions to this year’s talent include Mary Droppinz, SVDDEN DEATH, and the current king of flips, Whethan. Most notably, R&B and hip-hop icon T-Pain has been added to the mix. The influential artist had EDM fans on X in a stir earlier this year as he teamed up with Kompany, NGHTMRE, Samplifire, and more for his first Bass Bootcamp. Now fully immersed within the bass community, the superstar will take the stage at Forbidden Kingdom for a rare DJ set.
The four final artists join the massive list of esteemed and up-and-coming DJs that will throw down on the festival’s four stages. Headliners can enjoy unique sets from Liquid Stranger b2b Mersiv, Emo Nite presents Grave Rave, Jon Casey b2b Viperactive, and a sunset DnB performance from Ivy Lab as they complete their final run of shows.
Along with a stellar lineup, Forbidden Kingdom will add new stages for 2026. The Dragon’s Lair, Mystic Garden, Crystal Spire, and Forbidden Realm will come to life with top-notch production and immersive theming.
While two-day GA passes are sold out, there’s still time to lock in an upgraded experience with GA+ or VIP tickets. If you’re a headbanger who’s ready to full send a weekend at the East Coast’s biggest bass festival, head to Front Gate and plan your next adventure.
