Forbidden Forest Festival 2026 will once again transform the lush greenery of the UK’s heartland into an electrifying realm of rhythm and revelry — a place where the untamed meets the underground. Renowned for its wild energy, immersive stage designs, and unbeatable atmosphere, Forbidden Forest is not just a festival — it’s a pilgrimage for those who crave bass-heavy beats, pounding techno, and euphoric drum & bass deep in the woods.

Emerging in 2016 as a grassroots rave hidden in the trees, the festival has since evolved into one of the UK’s most anticipated electronic gatherings. Every edition brings together an all-star lineup of DJs, producers, and collectives from across the global dance scene, offering an unmatched fusion of tech house, DnB, garage, and techno under the forest canopy. With its loyal community of ravers and signature woodland production, the festival remains an essential fixture on the UK’s electronic calendar.

The 2026 line-up is stacked with heavy-hitters that guarantee a thunderous weekend. Headliners include Andy C, Hybrid Minds, Michael Bibi, Sub Focus, and Wilkinson, alongside stellar names like Amine Edge & Dance, Low Steppa, Holy Goof, Koven, James Hype, Ewan McVicar, Danny Byrd, Culture Shock, East End Dubs, Jess Bays, and Max Dean. From bass anthems to blistering house grooves, every beat echoes through the forest, uniting ravers in a hypnotic celebration of sound and freedom.

Beyond the decks, Forbidden Forest delivers a fully immersive experience — laser-lit trees, bespoke stage designs, booming sound systems, and an atmosphere that’s equal parts raw and magical. Whether you’re losing yourself at the main stage, vibing in the DnB arena, or discovering underground gems in hidden clearings, every moment feels like a secret shared among thousands.

With its unmatched energy, forward-thinking line-up, and unique woodland vibe, Forbidden Forest 2026 promises another unforgettable chapter in the UK’s festival story — where the beats hit harder, the nights burn brighter, and the forest itself feels alive.
