Following our Phase 1 announcement which saw over 50 of the top DJs from across the globe such as FISHER, CamelPhat, Skepta, Bru-C, Hedex, Gorgon City, Hybrid Minds, Jamie Jones, Josh Baker and Skream & Benga announced for 2025, we’ve added 16 more of the hottest names in electronic music to the Forbidden Forest 2025 lineup.
Drum and bass legend Andy C returns to The Forest, promising a high-octane experience thanks to his unmatched energy and signature underground sounds. Dutch deep house maestro Chris Stussy, who sold out The Roundhouse London last month, takes to the Forbidden decks for a highly anticipated debut. With massive anthems including his latest track ‘It’s About Us’, ‘Go’, a rework of the Moby original and ‘All Night Long’, which has already amassed over 20 million streams on Spotify, Chris promises to bring his infectious and unique style of house to the Forest for a rave like no other.
Techno titan Charlie Sparks will bring his hard-hitting basslines and fast-paced BPM to Belvoir Castle, alongside renowned French DJ and producer I Hate Models who has captivated audiences across the world with his blend of techno and trance. Festival goers can expect nothing less than an intense set that will transport them to the darker side of electronic music.
Also joining the bill is global ambassador of techno, Marco Carola, who was instrumental in the development of the electronic scene in the early 90s. Carola will bring his energetic, impressive three-deck style of mixing and work the crowd for what is set to be one of the biggest moments of the festival.
‘First Lady of Defected’ Sam Divine and Sota, an emerging force in the underground dance scene who sold out his headline UK tour last year, have also been announced in the second wave alongside Basslayerz, BK, Boat Club Events, Disco Lines, Morgan Seatree, Prospa, Riordan, Sammy Porter and Salome Le Chat.
Tickets for Forbidden Forest 2025 have already started to sell out, with all day tickets & 2-Day camping tickets absolutely flying out. We still have a limited number of 3-Day & 4-Day camping tickets, along with a handful of Weekend Non-Camping tickets available.
