Forbidden Kingdom’s Lineup Almost Feels Forbidden

This lineup is absolutley forbidden… with such great names, you’ll break your neck! Get ready- global dance music experience curator Insomniac and its dedicated bass music brand Bassrush today unveil the second phase of the East Coast’s largest dedicated bass festival, Forbidden Kingdom’s, 2026 lineup. Taking place on Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 at Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando, FL, bass music lovers from far and wide will gather in the heart of Florida for two days and nights of immersive stage designs, powerful lineups, and a fan-first approach that keeps accessibility and affordability at its core. Headbangers unite!

In addition to the already-staggering roster of artists, Insomniac reveals that multidimensional dubstep maven Mary Droppinz, Bay Area-native DJ and producer SVDDEN DEATH, and Chicago-based sensation Whethan have been added to the slate of performers. Also added to the bill is a rare DJ set from GRAMMY Award-winning singer and rapper, T-Pain.

The rest of the Forbidden Kingdom 2026 lineup includes some of bass music’s biggest names, including dubstep powerhouse Subtronics, pioneering JUNO Award-nominated duo Zeds Dead, Beatport’s best-selling dubstep artist Virtual Riot, and Atlanta-based EDM duo ATLiens. 

Headliners can also look forward to a multitude of exciting B2B sets, including Liquid Stranger B2B Mersiv, Getter B2B Space Laces, Automhate B2B Mad Dubz, and Jon Casey B2B Viperactive. These names are insane! We love it!
