Forbidden Forest 2026

About the show

Forbidden Forest is one of the UK's most dynamic electronic music festivals and this year celebrates its 10th anniversary in spectacular fashion with a first wave of artists for 4-7 June 2026 at Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire led by Michael Bibi, Pendulum DJ, Hannah Laing, Holy Priest and Chris Stussy.

Through the Forest they walked, searching for our place to dance and let go. For a moment forgetting about the outside world and immersing ourselves amongst laughter, nature and friendship. Forbidden Forest was born.

Founded in 2016, Forbidden Forest is a magical place where we unite to celebrate our love of music, nature and dance.

Their stunning home, Belvoir Castle (meaning beautiful view) is located in hundreds of acres of lush forest, surrounded by rolling hills as far as the eye can see and steeped in history dating back to 1067.

Expect the best of the best talent across House, Tech House, Techno and D'n'B providing a stand-out soundtrack for a forest rave like you've never experienced before.

Together with the Forbidden Family, they have created an environment where all are equal and all are united by the love of electronic music.
