In a UK festival exclusive, Forbidden Forest has announced that the fire-breathing Arcadia Spider will be at its tenth anniversary show at Belvoir Castle, Grantham. The festival previously announced Chris Stussy as the first DJ confirmed for the 2026 lineup
Constructed from 95% recycled materials, the structure will take four days to build and brings something entirely new to Forbidden Forest for its tenth anniversary show. With a DJ booth made from Tri Star turbine rotors, legs that were originally UK Government security scanning machines, top ‘muscles’ originating from Gazelle helicopter tails and eye sockets made out of reverse thrust units from Rolls Royce jet engines, festival goers will be able to experience the exhilarating structure in the Forest for one year only.
James Cohen, Owner of Forbidden Forest Festival, said: “We couldn’t be more excited to bring the legendary Arcadia Spider to Forbidden Forest in 2026. It’s a huge year for us marking our tenth chapter and the addition of this masterpiece is sure to make it unforgettable – not just for us as promoters, but for every single person who’ll witness the scale of this industrial behemoth.”
