Lost Lands may be sold-out, but that doesn’t mean fans can’t experience the fest’s grand return in 2021. Excision‘s flagship music festival, a bass music utopia situated in Ohio’s Legend Valley, sold out in record time due to an incredibly high demand for tickets after a year devoid of music festivals. However, considering the ceaseless uncertainty of COVID-19, many Lost Lands diehards looking to sell their tickets.
