Forbidden Kingdom has officially revealed its 2026 day splits, giving bass fans a clear look at how the stacked lineup will unfold across the weekend. Set to return to the Central Florida Fairgrounds on 25th - 26th April, 2026, the Bassrush-curated festival once again delivers a two-day deep dive into dubstep, riddim, bass and experimental sounds, with distinct programming locked in for each day.
Saturday, 25th April leans into high-impact energy and genre diversity, headlined by Zeds Dead, Liquid Stranger b2b Mersiv and Virtual Riot. The opening day also features A Hundred Drums, Andromedik, Automhate b2b Mad Dubz, Bassripter, Bella Renee, Kompany, PhaseOne, Reaper, Subsonic and HVdes, alongside sets from Cyclops, Dream Takers, Natty Lou and Xotix, setting the tone for a relentless start to the weekend.
Sunday, 26th April pushes even deeper into heavy territory, with Subtronics, ATLiens, Deathpact, Hedex and Shanghai Doom leading the charge. The second day also includes standout performances from Getter b2b Space Laces, Grabbitz, Hesh b2b Codd Dubz, JKYL & Hyde, Slang Dogs, YDG and Vibrant Illusion, ensuring a darker, harder close to the Forbidden Kingdom experience.

With single-day passes arriving this Thursday at 1:00pm ET, the newly announced splits make it easier than ever for fans to lock in their preferred day or plan a full weekend takeover. Forbidden Kingdom 2026 continues to cement its status as one of North America’s essential bass festivals, with both days offering a distinct yet equally punishing journey.
