If you thought dinosaurs were extinct, think again. This September, you can have the chance to walk amongst dinosaurs at the Lost Lands Music Festival in its eighth year running. This prehistoric-themed event in Legend Valley, Ohio is a product from the mind of Jeff Abel, better known as Excision, one of the biggest names in the EDM music scene today.
Abel has been working as a musician since as early as 2006, having made a successful career for himself not only as a DJ but also a producer. Over the last 19 years, he’s founded several music record labels including Subsidia Records, Rottun Recordings, and Destroid Music — all while releasing five studio albums as Excision and stamping his namesake with a jurassic music festival (pun intended).
The lineup for this festival is absolutely massive.
Many well-known DJs and EDM artists are expected for 2025, including Rezz, Subtronics, Wooli, Illenium, Inzo, and sooo more (and as always, Excision himself, who not only has a two-hour set planned, but will be doing a back-to-back set with Subtronics, which I am absolutely stoked for). Attendees can fully expect the weekend to be overflowing with bass-dropping, body-vibrating wub galore. Since this is a multi-day music festival, schedules for set times will be released closer to the event, so if there’s an artist you’re really eager to see, make sure you show up on the right days they’re performing.
Speaking of multi-day festivals, this is indeed a camping music event, so pack accordingly! It is labeled as a rain or shine “the show will go on” kind of event, but you never know what could happen when the weather doesn’t always like to go according to plan (RIP, Bonnaroo ‘25). If camping isn’t your style but you still want to party and dance all night, hotel packages and shuttle services can be found on Lost Land’s website.
Lost Lands will be taking place the weekend of September 19th through the 21st, 2025 and — with an early entry pass — you can access the campgrounds as soon as Tuesday, September 16th, at 7pm. If you arrive by Thursday, you can also attend the Lost Lands Pre-Party with music beginning that afternoon and carrying over into the evening. As of right now, the list of performances are still hush-hush, but fans expect a perfect mix of Lost Lands artists going B2B2B2B — all day long.
If you can’t make it to this year’s Lost Lands, no worries; it was so successful that Jeff made two other festivals just like it!
There’s Bass Canyon, the west coast edition held in Washington, and Paradise Blue, a destination EDM beach resort festival in Cancun, Mexico. Whatever the case, if it’s an Excision festival, it’s guaranteed to be absolutely epic!
(P.S. – Don’t forget to bring your earplugs! Oh wait, that’s right… every attendee receives one free pair of High Fidelity earplugs, plus a branded metal carrying case when they purchase a ticket. Isn’t Jeff the best?!)
