Insomniac has shared the 2025 lineup for its medieval-themed bass music festival, Forbidden Kingdom.
The powerhouse promoter’s annual bass crusade will return to the Orlando Amphitheater at the Central Florida Fairgrounds for its seventh edition this May 30-31, hosting performances from over 70 of the bass realm’s hardest-hitting selectors throughout the weekend camping affair.
Florida headbangers should stretch their necks for solo performances from leading dubstep artists like Excision, Eptic, Skull Machine (Black Tiger Sex Machine & Kai Wachi), SVDDEN DEATH, Ray Volpe, Riot Ten, Wooli, Borgore, and Zomboy, but Forbidden Kingdon’s earth-quaking 2025 lineup doesn’t stop here.
Fans can also get excited for several unique sets and collaborative performances, including curated shows like Automhate presents “Vyle” and a riddim set from deep dub up-and-comer MYTHM, and pairings like FuntCase B2B Versa, LAYZ B2B Kompany, and Codd Dubz B2B PYKE, with the third duo set to mix on six decks.
Another anticipated B2B from Zingara & Steller leads an equally heralded class of experimental bass acts at Forbidden Kingdom 2025, including AHEE, IMANU, Drinkurwater, GorillaT, and Jade Cicada, while trap fans can get amped for genre legends like RL Grime and TroyBoi, and drum & bass lovers can break out their gun fingers for the likes of Andromedik and Netsky.
Check out the official phase one lineup announcement below. More names will be added in the coming weeks.
Tickets for Forbidden Kingdom 2025 will go on sale this Thursday, February 27 at 12PM ET. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit forbiddenkingdomfestival.com.
