The UK's acclaimed electronic music festival, Forbidden Forest, has unveiled a spectacular plan for its landmark 10th-anniversary celebration in 2026. The event will transform the grounds of Belvoir Castle in Grantham into a breathtaking wonderland from June 4 to June 7.
In a monumental UK festival exclusive, the legendary Arcadia Spider will descend upon the woodland. This iconic 50-tonne structure, crafted from recycled military hardware, is renowned for its fire-breathing spectacles, aerial performances, and a fully immersive 360-degree sound system.
A Stellar First Wave of Musical Acts
Alongside the colossal spider, the festival has announced a powerful first wave of musical talent. The line-up is a who's who of electronic music, featuring the long-anticipated return of Michael Bibi following his inspiring personal comeback. The genre-defying pioneers Pendulum are set to deliver a high-octane performance, perfectly suited to the Arcadia arena.
Other major acts confirmed include drum and bass heavyweight Sub Focus, house music legend MK, and the dynamic Girls Don't Sync. The list is packed with talent, from the technical prowess of Andy C and James Hype to the rising sounds of Hannah Laing and Holy Priest.
How to Secure Your 2026 Tickets
Fans eager to be part of this historic weekend can act now. Pre-sale registration is currently open via the official Forbidden Forest website, offering access to various camping options like Forbidden Fields and Forbidden Lakeside.
General ticket sales will launch at 10am GMT on November 19, also through the festival's official website. With the combination of a world-class line-up and the unforgettable Arcadia Spider, the 2026 edition promises to be an unparalleled experience for dance music lovers.
