Drum and bass and festivals. Name a better combination. Seriously, we'll wait...
Few musical genres complement an outdoor music spectacle as well as DnB does. There's just something about high-energy breakbeats and wobbly bass tones ringing out in the warm summer air that really gets us off! No matter how little sleep you've had in your severely under-equipped tent, how bad you smell, or how dehydrated you are, you'll always find a special reserve of energy for raving when a DnB titan takes to the decks.
If, like us, you're already longing for the 2025 festival season and you fancy yourself a bit of a jungle, breakcore, or bass buff, you're going to want to take note of some of the heavy-hitting soirees coming to a field and/or city near you.
Take the opportunity to secure your place at one of the very best drum and bass festivals going down this year before it's too late, or sign up for reminders to ensure you're first in the queue when tickets become available.

With over 60 of the biggest names in the genre heading beachside to get the masses grooving on the sand. The beach isn't the only place to boogie though, there are boat parties and afterparties aplenty.

Or, if Portugal is too far for you, DnB Allstars also brings a festival to London every year.
This one brings an army of drum and bass artists across seven stages, with plenty of massive names alongside the best up-and-comers, so you can discover the hottest names of tomorrow. Over one hundred artists have been booked for this one, so chances are there’ll be more than enough artists to check out for most kinds of DnB fans.
This London festival is looking unreal. The only problem you might have is deciding which sets to check out. Our thoughts go out to any punters worried about clashes at this one. But still, it’s going to be incredible.

When: Sunday 6th July 2025
Where: Silverworks Island in London
2025 lineup: Hybrid Minds, Hedex, and Sub Focus headlining, with more to be announced
Worried About Henry know a thing or two about bass music. One of the UK's very best Drum and Bass promoters, who put on regular raves rampant with the mosh and gun fingers, with the best in the business providing the reverb-heavy soundtrack.
Their annual city-centre festival in London, WAH In The City, sees them take over Silverworks Island next to London City Airport for a day-long exploration of all the sounds of modern bass music. This year it is no joke. Joining them is Hedex, bringing his My Home Is The Rave show for the afternoon headline set; the masters of all things liquid, Hybrid Minds, doing the Sundown set, and Sub Focus, bringing their Circular Sound show to close things off. It's going to be a belter, grab tickets below.

When: Thursday 3rd - Sunday 6th July 2025
Where: Kristalpark Lommel, Belgium
2025 lineup: Becky Hill, Excision, Hybrid Minds, Malaa & Alter Ego, Rezz, Wilkinson, and more
After celebrating 15 years in 2024, Rampage is back once again to bring you bass heads one of the best festivals in Belgium, welcoming over 300 national and international DnB and dubstep artists across their seven stages.
Alongside the tunes, Rampage brings a game zone, a theme park, a marketplace, a food village, a skating arena, and more on a (likely) sunny July weekend. If you can make the pilgrimage to Rampage, we highly recommend you do so. What’s more, the production value for this festival is absolutely insane, with some of the most stunning light shows and performances that you'll find anywhere.
Join 20,000 fellow ravers at one of the world's best DnB festivals in 2025, you won’t be disappointed.
When: Saturday 27th September 2024
Where: Stanmer Park in Brighton, England
2025 lineup: TBC
While Boundary isn't purely DnB, there's always a hell of a lot of it on the lineup! With a few stages dedicated to big wobbly basslines, rapid percussion, and skanking crowds, Boundary is more than qualified to call itself a cracking drum and bass festival.
Boasting an array of some of the biggest names in dance and just at the end of festival season, it’s the perfect final bash before we all go back into hibernation, waiting for another gorgeous festival season.
If you just want to dance, regardless of genre, check out the best dance and EDM festivals!

When: Friday 2nd - Sunday 4th May 2025 (bank holiday weekend)
Where: Waterhall in Brighton, England
2025 lineup: Becky Hill, Sub Focus, Bru-C, Dimension, Bugzy Malone, Dizzee Rascal, SASASAS, and many more
Another cracking choice for those who like other genres alongside their drum and bass at festivals! Land Beyond typically brings artists from house, UKG, hip-hop, grime, and DnB to Brighton and, unlike Boundary, this one’s camping.
All about stepping away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Land Beyond focuses on freedom, exploration of new music, and experiencing the unknown.
For 2025, Land Beyond has partnered with a few party brands, including HomeBass and Worried About Henry, so you can rest easy knowing there’ll be big dubs aplenty. They also bring installations, immersive experiences, and groundbreaking production. It’ll be incredible.

Where: Chepstow Racecourse in Chepstow, Wales
2025 lineup: TBC
After celebrating ten years in 2024, unfortunately, Balter has announced that 2025 will be its last ever edition.
Balter has always been one of the best festivals in Wales, consistently praised for its friendly atmosphere and tendency to attract those who just want to escape into the music and don’t care what others think while they do it, so this announcement has been met with an outpour of bittersweet love and appreciation for everything it has done.
There's plenty of variety on Balter’s lineup including techno, rock, bassline, jungle, and DnB, with a stage dedicated to drum and bass. Whilst the lineup for the final edition isn't yet out, but you can guarantee they'll be going out with a bang, grab your tickets below, this WILL be selling out.

When: July 2025, TBC
Where: Kitsham Farm in Bude, Cornwall, England
2025 lineup: TBC
This super intimate, independent festival brought DnB, breaks, jungle, dubstep, and house to just 1,000 ravers over in north Cornwall in 2024. Alongside the tunes, there are circus and burlesque acts to create a unique experience.
The fest has every intention of staying small, preferring that intimate feel. But despite the festival’s size and the pretty big names that play there, with the likes of Emily Makis, Sammy Porter, Benny Page and more joining last year's edition. Whilst no names have been announced for 2025 yet, the curation on these bills are always spot on, so expect a bass-fuelled bash of the highest order.
Grab a day ticket below for a slice of the action or a weekend ticket for the whole pie!

When: Saturday 13th - Sunday 14th July 2024
Where: Torre Abbey in Torquay, England
2025 lineup: Bloc Party, Fatboy Slim, Sunday (DnB day) TBC
Returning to the coastal settings of The English Rivera, Electric Bay brings its third edition to ravers this year. While a multi-genre festival, Electric Bay still makes our list of the best drum and bass festivals thanks to its Sunday, on which they tend to book some of the most celebrated names in the genre (last year saw Hybrid Minds, Sub Focus, Wilkinson, Bou, A Little Sound and more play).
If you want pure DnB, you might want to just look at a Sunday ticket. But if you also love other genres - with Fatboy Slim and Bloc Party already announced for the other two days - then get a weekend ticket!
