Five Stages Return With Forbidden Kingdom’s Medieval Theme

Alongside the newly announced lineup, Forbidden Kingdom will bring back five stages across Central Florida Fairgrounds. Its medieval fantasy concept will continue through custom stage designs, interactive art installations and the large dragons associated with the festival.

Over the years, that concept has connected the festival with castles, mythical creatures and other medieval imagery. Those details will appear throughout the grounds again when the ninth edition begins on Friday, April 23.

Emerging DJs and producers will also have a route onto the lineup through Insomniac’s Discovery Project. The competition will select one winner to perform during Forbidden Kingdom 2027, placing them alongside the artists already announced.

Following the lineup announcement, three-day GA, GA+ and 18+ VIP passes are currently available. Fans can purchase Forbidden Kingdom 2027 tickets here. A limited one-week layaway promotion also allows ticket buyers to begin with a $10 deposit.

The ninth edition of Forbidden Kingdom runs from Friday, April 23 through Sunday, April 25, 2027. The festival returns to Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando, Florida, with further details expected before next spring.
