Forbidden Kingdom Unveils Royally Stacked Phase One Lineup

Excision, SVDDEN DEATH, RL Grime, Ray Volpe, Zomboy, Wooli, Troyboi, Riot Ten, and more are set to play Forbidden Kingdom 2025.

Hear ye, hear ye bassheads! Forbidden Kingdom is bringing the heat to Florida this summer with its 2025 edition, as it returns to its home at the Orlando Amphitheater at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. Thousands of bassheads will flock to the medieval-themed bass music paradise when it opens its gates to bass revelers on May 30-31, a week earlier than in previous years.

Whether you’re into the ground-shaking soundscapes of dubstep and riddim, hard-hitting trap, or high-energy drum and bass, this year’s phase one lineup delivers. It features an electrifying mix of the scene’s biggest names, rising stars, and unique b2bs, offering something for every kind of bass fan.

Immediate standouts on the lineup include dubstep heavyweights Excision, Zomboy, SVDDEN DEATH, Eptic, and Ray Volpe, alongside trap powerhouses RL Grime and Troyboi. The lineup also features groundbreaking b2b sets from Layz and Kompany, Zingara and Steller, Funtcase and Versa, Benda and Vastive, and Black Tiger Sex Machine and Kai Wachi‘s collaborative project Skull Machine.

While the phase one lineup boasts some of the biggest names in bass music today, don’t sleep on the impressive undercard. Drum and bass fans won’t want to miss sets from the household name Netsky, rising dance-floor producer Andromedik, genre-bending Imanu, and Skellytn. Choppy, heavy riddim sets from VKTM, Shiverz, OG Nixon, and MYTHM (under his riddim alias MYDDM) will also have riddim fans throwing high knees all day long.

Tickets go on sale at 12pm ET this Thursday, February 27 via SeeTickets, so swoop in fast to secure your GA, GA+, or VIP passes. This is only the phase one announcement, so be sure to follow Forbidden Kingdom on Instagram to be the first to know when new artists join the lineup.
