Updates and Improvements Abound for the 2023 Lost Lands Festival
Here’s what’s new for Lost Lands year six. Each year, headbangers from all over the world descend on Ohio for the world’s premier bass music festival, Lost Lands. The mastermind behind the madness, Excision, annually gathers an elite cast of talent for a weekend of nonstop dubstep, trap, melodic bass and everything in between.

Lost Lands 2022 Inspired a Sense of Adventure—And the Future Is Brighter Than Ever
While walking around Lost Lands and hearing from the festival’s ravers, one thing was loud and clear: it has become unrecognizable in the best way. New and improved Lost Lands festival grounds It was astounding to see what Lost Lands’ organizers have done with the festival grounds year after year.

It was immediately made apparent from the moment you step off the street and walk to the entrance gate. Before officially entering the grounds, attendees walk through a corridor speckled with life-sized dinosaurs, dinosaur eggs you can climb into, flowing waterfalls, volcanos that light up at night and more. It all served as an interactive...
