Festival season in 2025 has had its fair share of ups and abrupt endings. Some lineups are on pause (farewell for now, Rolling Loud). But next year already looks bright. Beatforest is set to return, inviting us once again to wander into the woods and listen. Built around ideas of community, movement and regrowth, it’s a weekend where music, nature and people meet on equal ground.
Music may be the anchor, but it’s far from the only rhythm here. You can plant a tree between sets, cycle through the greenery, or simply wander and let the lights guide you. The stage itself isn’t a monument of steel and screens; it’s shaped by the environment, its lights playing gently against the branches instead of blinding them.
Beatforest doesn’t posture as revolutionary, but perhaps that’s its quiet rebellion – a reminder that electronic music can coexist with nature, that dancing and caring for the planet aren’t opposites, and that sometimes the best beats are the ones that echo through the trees long after the crowd’s gone home. Heading there this year? Here’s everything you need to know about the fest, from tickets, lineup and gate times to the shuttle bus.
