Forbidden Forest Reveal First Acts For 10th Anniversary Festival with Michael Bibi, Dr Banana, MK, Sub Focus and more

Forbidden Forest Festival has today unveiled the first wave of the lineup, including Sub Focus, Michael Bibi, Shy FX, Holy Priest, MK, Hannah Laing, Dr Banana and Pendulum.

The tenth anniversary of the festival, Forbidden Forest, has locked in the iconic Arcadida Spider as one of the stages for 2026.

“We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate our tenth year at Belvoir Castle, a location that has shaped the identity of Forbidden Forest from day one. Its vast grounds and unmistakable atmosphere set the stage for everything we do. Marking this milestone with the biggest lineup in our history featuring Michael Bibi, Sub Focus, Pendulum, Shy FX and more feels exactly right, and welcoming the legendary Arcadia Spider to the Forest in a UK festival exclusive takes it to another level entirely. This chapter is a celebration of how far we’ve come, and we can’t wait to share it with the Forbidden Forest family who’ve made this journey unforgettable.” James Cohen, Owner of Forbidden Forest Festival
