Lost Lands Festival 2026 at Legend Valley

Lost Lands is back for its ninth year, and it is bigger than ever. Excision's flagship festival transforms Legend Valley into a prehistoric bass paradise with jaw-dropping production, world-class sound, and the heaviest lineup in electronic music. If you have never been, this is the year to go.

Headliners and Highlights

This year's lineup is stacked with over 200 artists across multiple stages. Headliners include Excision (performing three unique sets), Subtronics, Illenium, Wooli, SLANDER, Kai Wachi, Virtual Riot, Flux Pavilion, Adventure Club, Ganja White Night, NGHTMRE, Seven Lions, and Sullivan King. The production is legendary: massive dinosaur animatronics, state-of-the-art laser displays, and a sound system that has to be felt to be believed.

Camping and Accommodations

Lost Lands is a fully immersive festival experience with on-site camping options ranging from basic tent camping to RV spots and glamping. Early entry passes (Wednesday/Thursday) are available for an additional cost, letting you get settled before the music starts. Many local hotels in Thornville, Newark, and Heath also fill up fast, so book early if you prefer a roof over your head.

Getting to Legend Valley

Legend Valley is located at 7585 Kindle Road in Thornville, about 10 minutes south of Interstate 70 via OH-13. It is roughly a 40-minute drive from downtown Columbus and 20 minutes from Newark. Ride-sharing services operate heavily during the festival, and designated driver programs are available.

What to Bring

Comfortable shoes, earplugs (trust me on this one), a hydration pack, weather-appropriate clothing, and your ID. The festival runs rain or shine. Check the official Lost Lands website for the full prohibited items list before you pack.
