Held at the Orlando Amphitheater at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando, Florida, Forbidden Kingdom has what Bass Canyon and Lost Lands do not: heat. Both days of the festivals were around ninety degrees with clear blue skies, combated by Insomniac East with plenty of water stations and places to rest in the shade.

With five different stages, the set options—and conflicts—were not lacking. Though primarily filled with the nasty snarls of dubstep and riddim, patrons could add a little…spice to their schedule with artists such as Sodown, Griz, Deathpact, and more.

The lineup was truly art this year with spectacular artists big and small making their way onto the roster. Seven Lions and Excision closed out the larger stages day one after attendees got to enjoy a plethora of solo acts and phenomenal B2Bs like those featuring Getter and Space Laces or Buku and G-Rex.

Day 2

Day two started off strong with up and coming talent such as Muerte. The day didn’t slow down as artist upon artist brought the heat—particularly, Svdden Death who said “goodbye” to his moose mask and “hello” to fire breathing in Voyd 2: Into the Inferno—until the final acts featuring Subtronics and Rezz, who both ended their individual sets with their track together, “Puzzle Box.” Was this planned? We may never know.

The festival grounds themselves were just the right size of being large enough for attendees to not be crowded, but small enough that you didn’t need to spend fifteen minutes trying to get to another stage. There were plenty of places for photo ops with setups featuring castles, dragons, and more.

VIP was a special experience providing its own special photo locations, a swing set, kandi and glitter bars, flushable toilets, bars and food trucks, and spray sunscreen and deodorant for those who forgot theirs. At night, the VIP concierge placed out wearable glow sticks and LED necklaces. The jewel of the VIP section was hands down the area carved out of the pit so VIPers could walk right up to the rail and dance close to the stage without being over crowded.

The festival’s theme of an enchanted medieval kingdom inspired many guests to dress up as dragons, and it’s color scheme was reflected by black and red portrayed time and time again. There were several dragons spotted roaming through the grounds

If you are into the heavy wubs, Forbidden Kingdom should most certainly have a place on your Festival Bucket List. From its fire lineup to a theme everyone could play a part of, FK is a festival I would be happy to attend year after year. Thank you, Insomniac East, for putting together a weekend that allowed for countless happy memories to be made for myself and so many others. Until next time.

You're in luck -  Forbidden Kingdom Music Festival, the largest bass and Dubstep Festival in South Florida, will return for two days in sunny, Boca Raton, FL on February 15th and 16th. This medieval-themed festival features a STACKED lineup with major names such as Excision, Dion Timmer, Zomboy, Adventure Club, Sullivan King and more. 

Not only is this lineup a full reason to send it, but if you're dealing with winter  across the country right now (like me in freezing cold Denver), then a trip to Boca Raton this time of year sounds magical. With an average temp of SEVENTY-SEVEN degrees, this is one fest that you can dress to impress without having to worry about freezing your rave booty off at. And, if you're traveling from out of town, why not make a trip out of this festival and stay for a few days at the beach?! 

Seriously, this venue is gorgeous! Photo Credit: Forbidden Kingdom 

Now, let's talk about some of these artists featured on the lineup. First things first, Excision will be playing a Detox set and an OG set on Sunday (Day 2) of the festival. Although I've yet to experience Forbidden Kingdom for myself, I'm willing to bet this will be one heck of a good time. 

In addition to the king himself, Forbidden Kingdom Music Festival features tons of other artists that will break yer neck. Here are 4 other artists that you cannot miss:

Dion Timmer

I haven't been able to witness a Dion Timmer set live, but from all the live sets I've listened to, I think it will be well worth the wait. Saying this young artist is talented is an understatement - I'm seriously blown away every time Dion Timmer releases new music. Check out this brand new track he just released with Calcium (featuring Celestic), titled "Insane"!

Sullivan King 

I NEVER miss an opportunity to shake the ground with fellow headbangers during a Sullivan King set. I've seen him twice live and he does.not.dissapoint. I'm always extra amazed when an artist can DJ and also play an instrument live. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one. Check out this live set from E. Zoo that always gets me pumped at the gym! 

Adventure Club

A classic duo, Adventure Club, is always a fun time. I love that I love all of their music and can get all the feels with some classic throwbacks, as well as get down to some of their newer tracks. It's a great feeling when you've supported an artist from the beginning and are still loving their music years later!

Doctor P

I love getting down to the wonky beats of Doctor P. I've only had the chance to see Doctor P once but it was an awesome set and I'd love to chance to see him live again. This song is an oldie, but a goodie:
