Forbidden Forest, set in Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire on 4-7 June 2026, will host the Arcadia Spider in what will be a UK festival exclusive.
The 50-tonne stage usually calls Glastonbury as its summer home, but in the Somerset festival’s fallow year will now take up residency in the UK midlands.
Alongside the announcement of the Arcadia stage, Forbidden Forest has also unveiled its first wave of acts, including Sub Focus, Michael Bibi, MK and Girls Don’t Sync.
UK garage act DJ EZ will also perform, as well as Pendulum (DJ set), Hannah Laing, Dr Banana, SHY FX and Chris Stussy and more.
Tickets go on sale 10am Wednesday 19 November here.
