Forbidden Forest 2025, a magical line-up in the woods

From May 29 to June 1, Forbidden Forest will return to the enchanting Belvoir Castle Estate in Leicestershire, bringing a stellar line-up that promises a truly unique musical experience. This year, the festival welcomes 17 new artists, including the likes of FISHER and Skepta, who will bring their beats to the forest stage for the first time. Joining them is the Liverpool duo CamelPhat, playing for the fifth time and solidifying their spot as one of the festival’s most beloved acts.

House music heavyweights Jamie Jones, Gorgon City, Josh Baker, and Alisha are also returning, ready to keep the crowd dancing until dawn. Adding to this eclectic line-up, Forbidden Forest will feature drum ‘n’ bass and dubstep stars like Skream & Benga, Hedex, Hybrid Minds, and Sub Focus, bringing powerful sounds to the castle grounds.

Festival founder James Cohen shared his excitement, saying, “We can’t wait to welcome our Forbidden Family back to the forest. In just a few years, Forbidden Forest has grown from a 1,000-person gathering into a unique, magical event. 2025 will be an incredible experience!
