Lost Lands 2023: Lineup, Camping and Everything Else You Need to Know

Headbangers everywhere are counting down the days until the return of Lost Lands, which will resurrect in September 2023 for arguably its biggest festival thus far.

Beloved amongst the stateside electronic music community for its heavy-hitting bass music and prehistoric theme, Excision's flagship festival returns to Legend Valley September 22-24. Once again, Lost Lands is coming in hot with a colossal lineup as well as number of major updates and improvements that were implemented after receiving community feedback.

With the festival’s 6th edition approaching, EDM.com has put together a detailed guide with everything you need to know in order to make the most out of your Lost Lands experience this year.

Lost Lands 2023 Lineup

The lineup at Lost Lands this year is as massive as ever, with a slew of unexpected B2Bs and sets from some of the scene's most celebrated artists. Excision will once again perform three sets: a two-hour solo performance, a B2B with Dion Timmer and a special "Detox" B2B with Wakaan label boss Liquid Stranger.

Additional Lost Lands 2023 performers include Boombox Cartel, Flux Pavilion, ATLiens, SVDDEN DEATH, Ganja White Night, JVNA, Barely Alive, Kill The Noise and EDM.com Class of 2022 trailblazers Akeos and Ray Volpe, among others. Many artists outside the traditional dubstep umbrella will be throwing down as well, like ACRAZE, Sub Focus, Ninajirachi, HALIENE, Wax Motif, Macky Gee and Codeko.

Lost Lands Accommodations

Camping

The majority of Lost Lands’ attendees each year opt for camping as their accommodation option, and the festival offers a wide range of camping and glamping options. As a general rule of thumb, camping tickets have to be purchased separately from admission tickets and they're sold per campsite—not per person.

From car, RV and tent-only forest camping to quiet car camping, Lost Lands offers an abundance of options to accommodate each headbanger's needs.

Glamping is back at this year’s Lost Lands as well, now doubled in size. Passes for both South Jurassic Glamping and North Jurassic Glamping were sold out, but additional, limited spots have now just opened up, and are available for purchase here. In case camping options sell out again, make sure to check out Lost Lands' ticket exchange for another chance at passes as the festival approaches. 

Visit Lost Lands’ website for more information on camping options and various payment plans. You can also can purchase parking passes for non-camping vehicles.

Hotels and Shuttles

Legend Valley is an approximate 45-minute drive from Columbus, where ticket-holders can find lots of accommodation options. Headbangers staying in Columbus who don’t want to drive to and from Legend Valley every day can enjoy the Dino Express air-conditioned charter buses, which will be carrying out unlimited Lost Lands day trips departing at convenient times.

Various Headbanger Hotel Packages are also available, with Lost Lands fans being able to choose between 5 different hotels in downtown Columbus, and purchase an all-encompassing package that also includes their group's festival admission, daily rides to and from the festival grounds, complimentary breakfast, and more. 

You can find more information on hotels and shuttles, as well as book your Dino Express ticket, here.
