The Story Behind Forbidden Kingdom Festival
Launched in 2019, Forbidden Kingdom has quickly become one of the premier bass music festivals in the United States, attracting thousands of headbangers and electronic music lovers to Florida every year. Known for its mythical and medieval-themed aesthetic, the festival transports attendees into a fantasy world filled with knights, dragons, and powerful bass music sorcery.
The festival was originally founded with the goal of providing a dedicated space for the growing dubstep, riddim, and bass music communities, featuring both industry heavyweights and emerging underground talent. Since its inception, Forbidden Kingdom has expanded massively, now hosting multiple themed stages, immersive art installations, and one of the most impressive B2B lineups in the scene.
Now under Insomniac’s umbrella, the festival continues to push boundaries, introducing six-deck B2Bs, unique artist takeovers, and diverse genre representation, from heavy-hitting dubstep to drum & bass and experimental bass. Forbidden Kingdom isn’t just a festival—it’s a full-blown bass music adventure where fans from all over the world unite to headbang, mosh, and create unforgettable memories.
