After wrapping up a monumental 2025 edition just days ago, Forbidden Forest has wasted no time announcing its return in 2026. The beloved UK festival will once again take place at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire from the 4th to the 7th of June, promising another immersive four-day celebration of underground music, natural surroundings, and cutting-edge production.

This year’s festival saw unforgettable performances from heavy-hitters like Skepta’s Mas Tiempo, Sub Focus, Andy C, Fisher, and Honeyluv, alongside crowd favourites including Wilkinson, Hot Since 82, Bou, Jamie Jones, and Skream & Benga. The lineup spanned house, techno, drum and bass, and everything in between, with a mix of icons, newcomers, and experimental selectors delivering across multiple forest stages.

The demand for 2025 was higher than ever, and with fans already eager for more, Forbidden Forest 2026 tickets go on sale this Friday at 10AM. Organisers are encouraging fans to sign up for the exclusive presale to avoid missing out, with early access expected to sell fast.

With the bar set even higher, and anticipation already building, Forbidden Forest 2026 is shaping up to be another unmissable chapter in the UK festival calendar.

The festival returns to Belvoir Castle from the 4th - 7th of June following a massive 2025 edition with Skepta, Fisher and more.

Forbidden Forest 2025 has just unveiled their highly anticipated Phase 2 lineup, adding 16 more heavyweight names to an already stellar roster. Joining the likes of FISHER, CamelPhat, Skepta, and Gorgon City, the new additions promise to bring a diverse mix of electronic sounds to Belvoir Castle this May and June.

Drum and bass legend Andy C will return to the forest, bringing his signature high-energy set that has become a festival staple. Meanwhile, deep house sensation Chris Stussy makes his debut at Forbidden Forest after selling out London’s Roundhouse, and he’s ready to bring his infectious grooves to the stage.

Techno fans will also be treated to sets from Charlie Sparks and the one and only Marco Carola, a true pioneer of the genre, known for his impeccable three-deck mixing style. Additionally, rising stars like I Hate Models, Sam Divine, and Sota will take to the decks, ensuring an unforgettable experience for festival-goers.

Forbidden Forest 2025 is shaping up to be a must-attend event for electronic music lovers.
