We’re pulling out all the stops for our tenth anniversary in 2026 and bringing something truly monumental to celebrate. For this year only, the world-renowned Arcadia Spider will invade the heart of Belvoir Castle in a UK festival Exclusive.
A global icon comes to The Forest.
The Arcadia Spider is not simply a stage. This colossal, fire breathing creation has become an international sensation that has weaved a web of unity across the globe and now, in a first for the festival, you will be able to experience the 360 multi-sensory installation in the heart of Leicestershire’s countryside and be transported to another realm.
Built from the extraordinary – what makes the Arcadia Spider even more powerful is how it’s been brought to life. Constructed from 95% recycled materials, every part of this masterpiece has a story:
– A DJ booth made from Tri Star turbine rotors
– Legs crafted from UK Government security scanning machines
– Muscles formed from Gazelle helicopter tails
– Eyes made out of Rolls Royce jet engine reverse thrust units
This is a once-in-a-lifetime addition – making its way to Forbidden Forest next year.
Earlier this summer, we confirmed Dutch powerhouse Chris Stussy as the first DJ on the lineup after his FF debut went viral but this is just the beginning. The wider lineup will be unveiled this autumn, with tickets going on sale in November.
Signups for priority access to the next release of tickets are open now. Click the button below and join us as we celebrate ten years of Forbidden Forest in the biggest way possible.
